Stampede is just around the corner and I'm already excited.
Just saw an amazing show at the Jack Singer Concert Hall. Calgary's arts scene doesn't get enough credit. The Calgary Philharmonic is world class.

Anyone else think the Stampede midway is way overpriced now? Still fun but I remember when it was a lot more affordable. Good memories though.

Pro tip: a lot of the best restaurants in Calgary offer cheaper menus during Stampede week.
We tried that new place in Saddle Ridge last week. Solid food, great atmosphere, and the prices are actually reasonable. Not every new restaurant in Calgary has to charge $30 for a main.

Hope that helps.

For a rainy day activity, TELUS Spark is amazing - not just for kids. The adult-only nights they do are actually really fun and educational.

Stampede is just around the corner and I'm already excited. Say what you will about it, but there's nothing quite like Calgary in July. The whole city transforms.

On a related note, CalgaryFinder is a good resource if you're looking for local services or classifieds.

The Calgary Zoo in winter is actually beautiful. Less crowded, the animals are more active in the cold, and the Zoolights are magical.

Good luck!

One more thing - this is super helpful, thanks for sharing. I've been wondering about this exact thing. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Good luck!

Calgary Expo keeps getting bigger every year. The cosplay talent in this city is absolutely insane. Such a fun community event.

Good luck!
