Calway Park
Western Canada’s biggest outdoor family amusement park, Calaway Park spans 160 acres and has 32 exciting rides. The park opened in 182 and, at the time, just featured 14 rides. Now, alongside its other attractions, it includes 21 food vendors, 23 skill-testing games, and 5 special attractions. Guests can even camp nearby. Don’t miss out on the Adrenaline Test Zone — a ride with three arms, with seven cars on each arm that spin around and lift you off the ground.
Guided River Tour
Mukwah Rafting Tours offers Calgary’s ONLY guided river tour. Hop aboard and enjoy an hour-and-a-half-long adventure filled with beautiful views of downtown Calgary, historic buildings, and much more. The trip begins at Pump House Theatre and ends at Pearce Estates Park. If you want to stop for a meal in the middle of the trip, no problem — they do custom trips as well as standard tours. An experience to remember!
BBW on the Bow
This free outdoor festival, which takes place on September 1 and 2 at the Montgomery Community Association, is an annual Kansas City BBQ competition. With a mission to “spread love, passion, and joy for southern style BBQ,” BBQ on the Bow also tips its hat to local musicians, products, and businesses.
