Calgary 
Events Description
Calgarians can enjoy free, family-friendly programming that brings the heart of the city alive with local flavours, live entertainment and inclusive vibes.
Presented by The City of Calgary working with Aire Commune Productions, River Hall transforms a parking lot into a fully programmed urban destination. Ten signature shipping containers house local food and drink vendors offering craft beer, non-alcoholic beverages, cocktails, coffee, fried chicken, ice cream, and vegetarian options.
The space features a community stage with live music, DJs, and performances; shaded picnic zones; family-friendly activities; and open sightlines to the Bow River. In addition, the popular Shirley’s Greenhouse is back again this year, providing fresh, local produce through a partnership with Calgary’s Farm Stand Program (11 a.m.–3 p.m. on select dates).
Calgarians and visitors are invited to kick off the season on Thursday, July 23, featuring live performances from Back & Forth, Jadé, Jenuiine, and DJ Sonidef, along with a first look at the expanded site including new greenspace and community programming.
Admission is free. Pets are welcome.
