Some of the businesses include Doughnut Party, Central Social Hall, La Poutine, MEAT and Seoul Fried Chicken.

“It’s our way of saying thanks for shopping local while helping you get to the fun faster,” said a KDays press release.

The initiative will run from June 30 to July 27. More details can be found here.

KDays, formerly known as Klondike Days, began over 130 years ago as the Edmonton Exhibition and is a nod to the history of the Canadian Gold Rush.

The carnival starts on July 18 until the 27th and includes rides, concerts, treats and games.
