Entertainment in its DNA
There’s never been anything quite like this Culture + Entertainment District, a place where celebration is a goal, a vibe, a way of life.
The community spirit that defines the downtown neighbourhood ethos is evolving into celebration spirit for the entire district, a larger scale but no less inclusive, generous and joyful place, no matter what the occasion. Whether it’s to see a local band or a Stanley Cup Final, an intimate art show, public installation or a street festival that draws visitors from around the world, events are made to uplift the everyday.
There are many groups and spaces bringing C+E to life through year-round events. Major projects like the BMO Centre Expansion and the proposed Event Centre and new plazas and park space will enable more diverse programming more often, allowing Calgarians to celebrate together, as one.
Host an Event
The Culture + Entertainment District is purpose-built for events of all kinds and sizes. Calgarians connect the district to energy, entertainment, pride, with venues both large and small, indoor and outdoor. If you are an organization, festival, or event planner ect. and looking to host your next event, visit these venue operators to learn more about the variety of spaces and resources available in the C+E.
In addition, there are many other restaurants and retail spaces that can host or support events in the district. A full listing of local businesses can be found on Victoria Park and 17th Avenue websites.
