Edmonton’s only live-action thriller inspired by true history possesses Mellon Farm for an intimate and immersive theatrical retelling of some of Edmonton’s long- buried secrets. Secrets that can’t stay buried forever.
Some people lived here. Many people died here. Not everyone moved on…and those left behind are desperate to tell you their story.
Dead Centre of Town is NOT a haunted house, but it will haunt you long after you leave the Park.

Contact Level: Light (Business/Acquaintance) to Moderate (Familial). Performers may touch an audience’s shoulder, gently ruffle hair, sniff audience, or offer a guiding hand. Performers are trained to be aware of audience limits, and will not pursue touch if it is unwanted by the audience.
Content Advisories: Dead Centre of Town is rated 14A: suitable for viewing by persons 14 years of age or older. Performances contain violence, gore, some coarse language, and unsettling themes including the supernatural, and dramatized murder, suicide, and infanticide. Dead Centre of Town ain’t for the faint of heart. You may be touched, sniffed, moved, placed in the splash zone, closed in small spaces, and separated from your friends.
Please note: due to large-scale, ongoing construction across the Fort Edmonton Park site, this year’s performance is unfortunately not accessible to anyone with a mobility aid or wheelchair.
