Entertainment

Canada’s largest sports and entertainment district has harnessed fan passion, design excellence, community spirit, innovation and record-breaking crowds to reenergize and revitalize Downtown Edmonton and create a world-renowned destination for residents and visitors alike. ICE District is anchored by Rogers Place and flanked by ICE District Plaza and Fan Park @ ICE District—steps away from a wide variety of upscale gaming, dining, shopping, the JW Marriott ICE District and Edmonton’s finest retail and office space.

Rogers Place is a world-class sports and entertainment venue in North America and the home of the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers. Live performances include Lady Gaga, Drake, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Bruno Mars, Cold Play and nine consecutive sold-out shows by Garth Brooks, to name just a few. The arena has won multiple awards for exemplary architecture and is fully integrated with Ford Hall and ICE District Plaza for multi-site festivals and other major events. 

The new Event Park will be a world-class indoor/outdoor entertainment and community destination in downtown Edmonton which will combine exceptional acoustics and state-of-the-art staging, sound, and lighting, with flexible, community-accessible spaces, capable of hosting touring acts, headline performances, cultural gatherings, festivals, and sporting events. 

Fueled by experience, resources and a global outlook on the future of content and entertainment, Dark Castle Entertainment tells stories that test the boundaries of human experience. Dark Castle has produced a wide variety of genre-bending films and TV series including Shell, starring Elisabeth Moss and Kate Hudson, Last Breath, starring Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu, The Expecting, starring AnnaSophia Robb and Mira Sorvino, Orphan: First Kill, starring Isabelle Fuhrman and Julia Stiles, and The Nice Guys, starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling.
