With school finally being done, many of us are looking forward to enjoying the summer break. However, for me personally, I often find myself during the summer sitting around the house, because I’ve run out of things to do. I mean, one can play on their phone for only so long, right? For those of you going through the same crisis as me, I have compiled a list of events in Calgary that are happening over the summer to cure your boredom.
Canada Day Celebrations
With Canada’s anniversary coming up on July 1st, many places are hosting events and celebrations. Eau Claire Market is hosting a free all day event, with food, live entertainment, artisan markets, and much more. Why not go check out some Canada Day celebrations and showcase your national pride? Plus, many of these events are free.
Shawn Mendes’s Wonder Concert
Whenever artists go on tour, it seems that Calgary is often missed on their tour. However, Shawn Mendes will be hosting a concert in Calgary on July 4th. This is to promote his album “Wonder”, and will be his first tour since the pandemic. There are still some tickets left, so if you are interested, you can go grab them.
Calgary Stampede
Is it truly summer in Calgary without the Stampede? Thankfully, the Calgary Stampede is back in full swing this year, and rumour has it that there are some cool new attractions. Also, in the week leading up to the Stampede, there will be many local community events, such as Stampede Breakfasts. Keep an eye out in your neighbourhood to see if there will be one in your area!
GlobalFest
GlobalFest is an annual festival held in Calgary during August. It works to promote cultural diversity and artistic excellence, and is a great event to check out. This year, it will be hosted from August 18-27, which gives you ten full days to experience its wonders. You definitely don’t want to miss out on those fireworks!
I hope you check some of these events out, and enjoy your summer!
