Calgary Herald Events
What this calendar is
The Calgary Herald event calendar aggregates things to do around Calgary, from concerts and festivals to family and community happenings. It complements the newspaper's local coverage by offering a living feed of time‑bound listings that residents can browse when planning a weeknight or weekend.
How listings are organized
Entries are grouped under clear categories like Music, Dance, Film, Exhibit, Festival, Sports, Outdoors, Community, Family, and more. This category-first design helps you jump straight to relevant options rather than scrolling a single long list.
Why it is useful
Because events are time-sensitive, a good calendar must be fresh, structured, and easy to skim. This one prioritizes date, venue, and concise descriptions, so you can quickly judge fit, check availability, and click through to the organizer for tickets or details.
Community submissions
Local organizers can submit events for consideration. That pipeline keeps the feed broad (from headline shows to neighborhood workshops) while allowing editorial curation to filter spammy or off‑topic items.
Practical tips
Skim by category first, then narrow by date. For paid events, confirm ticketing and refund policies on the organizer's page. Check venue accessibility, transit options, and age restrictions when planning family outings. For outdoor listings, verify day‑of weather or cancellation notices.
Scope and limits
The calendar focuses on Greater Calgary and near‑by communities. It lists performances, exhibitions, classes, lectures, seasonal festivals, charity runs, markets, and similar public events. Permanent attractions are typically covered by the Herald’s guides rather than this calendar.
Who operates it
The listings are hosted for the Calgary Herald and powered by a dedicated events platform that specializes in community calendars for media partners. That combination gives you a familiar news brand with infrastructure built specifically for events.
Bottom line
If you live in Calgary or are visiting, this calendar is a reliable first stop to see what is on this week—fast to scan, locally grounded, and continually refreshed by organizers and editors.
