East Town Get Down

Inspired by the thriving Calgary independent music scene, major festivals like SXSW, and the excitement of International Avenue, East Town Get Down will meld location and performance into an immersive event.

Taking place on a six-block length of 17th Ave SE, and featuring intimate, convivial venues, unique food and drink, and a range of Calgary performers to suit all musical tastes, East Town Get Down is going to shake up the festival landscape in Calgary, kicking off the summer season with an international flare.

Of course, INTL AVE’s amazing international restaurants are a big part of the unique “flavour” of this event. Dubbed “East Town Chow Down”, festival goers can once again enjoy $5 dollar food plates at the various venues and enjoy tasty international cuisine from a variety of cultures. Pre-purchase Chow Down vouchers as an add on right here with your festival ticket, on festival day at the event tent or you can just pay cash for a food plate at any venue!
