Calgary Fringe
Independent theatre, comedy and performance through August 8. Best for a flexible opening night.
Multiple showsNight planner
Six credible ways into the week.
Blue Rodeo
Grey Eagle Event Centre. The week's clearest advance-ticket commitment; listed from $69.99 before possible fees.
Book firstMidnight Blue Jazz Society
Music in the Plaza at Heritage Park. A low-pressure outdoor lead-in, subject to weather and current entry conditions.
Anna Tivel + Sam Weber
The Palomino Smokehouse. Intimate, downtown and easier to pair with dinner than Grey Eagle.
Two comedy rooms
Tommy Mellor at Comedy Cave or Dino Archie at The Laugh Shop. Choose by geography and confirm the lineup.
Marda Gras
A neighbourhood street-festival close. Expect road closures, crowds and a better experience by transit or bicycle.
