We’re a little bit country

Actually, a lot bit country. The world-famous Calgary Stampede is the beating heart of country in Canada. A 10-day celebration of everything western, you’ll find live performances across multiple venues every day of the event. 

Head further afield and you’ll find other bucket-list country events like Big Valley Jamboree and Country Thunder

Cozy up to winter

It’s not surprising that Alberta is home to festivals all year long. Jam out at the Sunshine Slush Cup in the Rockies while welcoming a long-awaited spring. 

Back in Calgary, events like Block Heater and Chinook Blast keep the blood pumping and the venues hot throughout the chilly season.
