Globalfest: August 20th to 28th

Globalfest has arrived once again! Globalfest (August 20th – August 28th) is a multicultural, world-class, multi-faceted arts and cultural festival that takes place annually in Alberta. It also includes a fireworks festival in which the fireworks are part of a pyromusical display. It’s really quite amazing to watch, and a great place to go with friends. Every day of Globalfest, pyrotechnicians from different countries put together a display. The days of each country are: Germany (August 20), Italy (August 22), Portugal (August 24), Spain (August 26), and a Finale produced by GlobalFest (August 28).

However, Globalfest isn’t just about fireworks. It’s a truly international festival, featuring acts from different cultures. It showcases Calgary’s diversity and artistic excellence, and offers a chance for its citizens to enjoy the wide variety of people present in the city. Tickets are cheaper if you buy them earlier; see for yourself!

Globalfest has recently been named one of the Westjet Top 100 festivals in North America! They’ve also added some new things this year, including a Night Market which includes shows and vendors from different countries, with ethnic food kiosks. Globalfest is going to be fantastic. For those of you who have been there, you know how good it is. For those of you who have not, trust us! Visit the website for more details on the event, and buy your tickets soon!
