Globalfest starts tomorrow (Aug. 20)! Globalfest is one of my favorite events in Calgary. Through volunteering with Globalfest through Youth Volunteer Corps (click here to get involved), I’ve not only enjoyed the fireworks show, the great purchasable food items, and dances, but the display of Calgary’s diversity as a whole. If you haven’t heard of Globalfest prior to this post, click here for some information on the history of the event and read their mission below:
“The mission of GlobalFest is to produce for the people of Calgary and visitors to our City, a world-class, multi-cultural festival and international fireworks festival that will offer the viewing public an affordable and accessible multi-faceted cultural experience. It is the intention of GlobalFest to use this platform to generate cultural awareness of and significant funding for local community groups as well as foster economic development in East Calgary and beyond.”
The fireworks festival is one of my favorite part of the whole event. This year, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany will the countries participating in the fireworks festival. In addition there will be a fireworks show put on by Globalfest to conclude the fireworks festival. Click here to see by whom and when the fireworks will be happening.
