Eight Things Worth Doing in Calgary This Weekend
From a dog show at The Ranch House to late-night DJ sets and a gelato tour, Calgary's Sunday has more going on than the cloudy forecast suggests.
Start your Sunday morning at Lindsay Park, where "YOGA SUNDAY CHAI COLLECTIVE ↗" gets going at 9 a.m. — a reliable weekly ritual that pairs movement with something warm to drink. If you'd rather move through the city than hold a pose, the "Creative Calgary Scavenger Hunt ↗" kicks off at 11 a.m. at Rosso Coffee Roasters on Stephen Ave, a genuinely fun way to see downtown with fresh eyes.
Afternoon opens up considerably. The "Alberta Kennel Club Summer Classic ↗" has been running since 8 a.m. out at The Ranch House — drop in and watch some serious dog-show competition, no registration required. Over at the Central Library's Patricia A. Whelan Performance Hall, "Hockey Trailblazer Larry Kwong ↗" at 2 p.m. tells the story of a player who broke barriers in professional hockey long before the sport caught up with him. It's followed at 3:45 p.m. by "Streetcars in Calgary ↗," a local history talk in the same venue — two solid hours of Calgary content if you're inclined to stay put.
For something more hands-on, "Crafternoons at Route 22! ↗" runs at 3 p.m. at Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery, and "Calgary's Paint & Sip Experience at Raw Canvas: Sunday Family Day" starts at 4 p.m. — the family-day framing makes it one of the more relaxed paint-night formats around.
At 6 p.m., "HOT LAPS River Run with Eighty Eight Brewing ft. Shaun Selects ↗" at 311 8 St SW combines a run along the river with a brewery stop and a DJ — a fine way to earn your pint. Monday brings the "5TH ANNUAL INCREDIBLE INDIA FEST ↗" to The Westin Calgary Airport from noon, and Tuesday evening "Stand up Comedy in broken English • Victor Patrascan in Calgary ↗" at Yuk Yuk's is worth pencilling in if your week needs a laugh.
