2. Color Me Rad
Color Me Rad, a 5k colour run based on a Hindu tradition called Holi (meaning a festival of colours), is calling anyone who wishes to add some vibrance into his/her life. The run is coming to Calgary this Saturday from 9 am – 12pm and is supposedly an excuse to let loose and just have an awesome time. Initially everyone starts out as a blank canvas however throughout the run turns into an exquisite art piece of uniqueness built by colour and happiness.

3. YYC Food Trucks Summer Frenzy
YYC Food Trucks Summer Frenzy: What’s better than food in this world? I say at times it can be a man’s best companion, if you’re a foodie this is the place to be and if you’re not it’s still quite the experience to take part in. Live music, beer (if you’re over 18), giveaways, entertainment, and a multitude of things to see and do. Today with a high of 29 is a perfect day for you to stop by East Village and check out 20 local food trucks , however the frenzy continues throughout the weekend waiting for you to take part in.
