Want to explore a neighbourhood by eating and drinking, all while supporting a charitable cause? Look no further than the Red Shoe Crawl.
What: Red Shoe Crawl
When: June 8, 2014
Time: 1-5pm
Where: Old Strathcona
Cost: $45
The fourth annual event seeks to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of Northern Alberta, which provides temporary and affordable accommodation for families whose children are being treated in one of Edmonton’s medical facilities. In past years, this event has raised $15,000.
Red Shoe Crawl attendees are given “passports”, which entitle them to food and drink samples at participating businesses in the area. Samples have ranged from glasses of wine, appetizers and cupcakes to full dishes ordered off of menus. Although the line-up for this year’s event have not yet been released, organizers hope to have twenty businesses on board.
I attended this event in previous years, and found it to be well-organized and a great way to eat your way through a neighbourhood.
Cool treat to accompany our walk

I’ve followed this event for the last two years and desperately wanted to attend, but couldn’t because of work or finances. I’d gnaw off my own arm to get free tickets and take my fiancé on an awesome gourmet afternoon.
I used to live in that area and it would be a great excuse to revisit the old haunts. Plus Ronald McDonald House does great things!
I would love to attend The Red Shoe Crawl and get to know Old Strathcona better. I live fairly close, but always go to the same places. On “The Crawl”, I would be able to check out a lot of places I’ve never been.
