CALGARY REGION


Calgary a hub of culture, arts, music and western living


W


hether you’re a longtime resident of Cowtown, or just visiting this summer, the list


of things to do in Calgary in a sum- mer is endless. Home to the Calgary Zoo, Canada


Olympic Park, the Calgary Tower, the Telus Spark Science Centre and the Glenbow Museum among other first rate draws, the city is a mecca for both culture and recreation. During the summer, Calgary hosts


world-class musician and cultural festivals, such as the Calgary Folk Music Festival (July 25-28) the Cal- gary International Blues Festival (July 29- Aug 4), the Sled Island Music and Arts Festival (June 19-23) and the Calgary Fringe Festival (Aug 2-10), just to name a few. There’s always something going


on in Calgary for any visitor, but a definite highlight of the summer is the Calgary Stampede (July 5-14). “The Greatest Outdoor Show on


Earth” draws tens of thousands of visitors from across the globe to view rodeo, watch live music and take in


the Western culture which has shaped Calgary’s history. The pa- rade, always a highlight, runs July 5. Outside of the extraordinary festi-


vals and events, Calgary offers an unparalleled cosmopolitan experi- ence for many interests. There are restaurants serving food from all over the world, thousands of stores and multiple galleries and museums to spend some time in the city any day of the week. The Scotiabank Saddledome and


other concert venues such as the Jack Singer Concert Hall and the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium host some of the world’s best-known musicians and theatrical performers all year long. The Jubilee Auditorium is also


home to the world-renowned Alberta Ballet Company, which brings tradi- tional and contemporary selections to life. For the history buff, the Aero


Space Museum, Fort Calgary, Lougheed House and Canada’s


Sports Hall of Fame are notable ven- ues. Heritage Park Historical Village,


the largest living history museum in Canada, offers sharps, restaurants and daily demonstrations of tradi- tional trades the whole family can enjoy. An attraction not to be missed is a ride on the park’s Steam Train. And, if you run out of things to do


in Calgary, the city is a jumping-off point for a variety of adventures. Drive 30 minutes west to Kananaskis Country to enjoy outdoor recreation and natural beauty all year round. In Nanton, one hour south of the


city, the Bomber Command Museum of Canada pays tribute to the brave airmen in the Second World War. Vis- itors can tour a fully operational Lan- caster bomber and see other aircraft from the era. Head 135 kilometres east to visit


Drumheller, home of the world fa- mous Royal Tyrrell Museum, to view on of the world’s greatest collections of dinosaurs fossils and learn about Alberta’s dinosaur history.


Calgary may have the nickname “Cowtown,” but the city is also a centre of culture and the arts, as evidenced by the Glenbow Museum’s art collection.
