Big Winter Classic

All weekend long from January 26th to 29th, enjoy the annual Big Winter Classic in the Design District in Calgary City Centre. Featuring over 90 live music performers, you can buy a day pass or spend the whole weekend at this exciting festival. Inspired by a desire to celebrate life in Calgary all year long, not just during the fleeting summer months, the Big Winter Classic has become a favourite wintertime celebration.

No matter how cold it is outside, plans for the Big Winter Classic are on. Calgarians know how to party even if it's absolutely frigid outside, dancing the night away under space heaters. This event is open to guests ages 18 and up.

Banff SnowDays

Just an hour outside of Calgary is Banff SnowDays, an annual winter celebration the whole family will love. Each January, the streets are filled with giant snow sculptures, fun activities for all ages, a SnowDays play zone, and special menus from local bars and restaurants. Don't forget to check out skijoring, a thrilling combination of skiing and cowboy culture. If you are looking for a quick winter trip to take from Calgary with the whole family, SnowDays is a perfect choice.

Block Heater

Are you into folk music? Then you won't want to miss Block Heater, Calgary's grassroots celebration of music from all around the country as well as the United States. Starts February 9-12, 2023. In 2023, the 8th annual Block Heater music festival will take place, and you don't want to miss this. The whole weekend will be filled with inspiring, talented artists you love as well as new names you will be excited to discover. This is located at 205 8th Ave SW in South Calgary.

GlowFest 

For the second and third weekends in February (10-12 and 17-19), Downtown Calgary is transformed into a glowing winter wonderland for GlowFest. With light as their medium, creatives and artists create immersive art installations and family-friendly performances. The short winter days become one of Calgary's greatest assets during this classic winter festival.
