Events Description

 
Calgarians are invited to come down to Olympic Plaza for free festival fun. The event series will include music, games, entertainment, roving buskers, ice sculpture carving, light art displays, photo opportunities, warming fire pits, a busker competition and more.

Join us for the family-friendly fun on offer including:

  • Enjoy exploring the plaza, which will be decorated in dazzling festive lights along with spectacular light art displays – we’ll even have a roving photographer to snap & share pics of you and your crew.
  • Some of Calgary’s best local buskers take part in a friendly “battle” on the Plaza Palooza stage. The Battle of the Buskers winner will be announced at 8 p.m. on the final event Saturday and will take home the ultimate title prize – a paid performance spot at The City’s 2025 Canada Day celebrations!
  • Live entertainment on stage every night – local community groups and artists on Fridays and Sundays, and Battle of the Buskers on Saturdays
  • DJs spinning tunes for the Plaza Palooza dance floor
