That’s a Wrap, Calgary! ❄️❤️
What a season
Chinook Blast 2026 has officially come to a close, and after three unforgettable weekends, we’re walking away with full hearts and warm spirits (even though it’s a little frosty outside now).
This year marked an exciting new chapter as we transformed our new site of Eau Claire Plaza into a glowing winter playground alive with vibrant new light installations, live music, DJ sets, winter raves, markets, cultural showcases, and all-ages fun from both day and night.
We were treated to a three week-long chinook season and Calgary, you showed up 🙌
Don’t think the party is over yet!
Ethnik Festivals of Arts and Culture
Ethnik Festivals of Arts and Culture (EFAC) returns on Friday, February 27, to Sunday, March 1. Don’t miss Calgary’s favourite annual Afro-Canadian and Caribbean showcase that celebrates art, music, storytelling, and food.
Grab your tickets before they sell out!
