A Very Wide Range Of Activities. |
(Please check the individual websites for current year's dates)
The festivals range from the very serious competitions in
Music and Art, to the lighter side of Stand-up Comedy
For example:
MUSIC:
The Kiwanis Music Festival Dates in calgary can be found on the website.
All daily sessions and performances are normally held in the Jubilee Auditorium.
By all accounts, this years event was another enormous success.
ART:
Every one should have a look at the “ One Yellow Rabbit” repertoire which ranks with the best theater in all of Canada.
There really is no way to do justice to this here and I strongly recommend that you check their website.
COMEDY:
One of the funniest and most unpredictable is the COMEDYFEST For this years dates , please consult the website.
Shown nightly April 28th to May 13th
Best of the Fest
8 PM in the Diamond Room
Best Western,
121 Edmonton Trail,SE Airdrie, Alberta
Of course there are other venues as well.
Because this is stand-up comedy it should probably be considered as adult festival.
Most festivals, such as the
CALGARY DRAGONBOATS
of course are geared for the enjoyment of the entire family, and in 2007 this will be held on the north end of the Glenmore Reservoir from August 24th to the 26th where thousands of people will have a great time watching the races and the colorful regalia, as well as the food and beverages.
It is expected that at least 70 teams from across North America will participate again this year.
For the current year's dates, please consult the website.
Then in August the increasingly popular AFRIKADAY! will take Calgary in it's spell and enlighten and entertain and educate the thousands of people that take in the various venues around the city, and in particular the arts and crafts and foods in Princess Island Park.
The Calgary Winterfest is another great occasion for children and adults to have fun and get better acquainted with each other.
Come and take part in Calgary Winterfest Multicultural Celebrations
(For this years dates please consult the website.) on Sunday Feb 17-07 at
the Village Square Leisure Centre on 2623-56 street NE.
Or take in the Seniors Follies at Heritage Park Historical Village on 11900 Heritage Drive,SW.
This is always a sell-out event.
The educators of the school system are working with the students to provide special Snow Days events as well.
