It’s been a long one, but we made it to the weekend, Calgary! Time to let loose and enjoy patio weather while it lasts. (Which may not be very long. Yikes.) Read on for 8 things to do in Calgary while you’ve got some free time this weekend.

Have a pawsome time at East Village

Kill two birds with one stone by celebrating National Puppy Day and the East Village Experience Centre’s 7th birthday all in one! Bring your own doggo or come solo to enjoy a dog walk with BARK, cuddles with Pet Access League Society dogs and treats for both humans and pups!

When: Saturday, March 23 @ 2 PM
Where: East Village Experience Centre– 553 Riverfront Ave SE

Get lost in the silver screen at Burwood Distillery

We’re gonna go ahead and steal Burwood’s dad joke here: this is just the be-gin-nning of a beautiful relationship with classic movies. Not our best wordplay, but the gin has taken the wheel. Enjoy Tom Cruise in his prime in Cocktail, while you drink real cocktails and munch on delicious appies!

When: Sunday, March 24 @ 8 PM
Where: Burwood Distillery– 4127 6 St NE

Grab some one-of-a-kind finds at the Antique & Collectible Market

All your fave vendors will be posted up at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association with unique antiques and delectable collectibles in tow. We dare you to try not to buy anything. (It’s seriously impossible.)

When: Saturday, March 23 @ 10 AM
Where: Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association– 1320 5 Ave NW

Throw it back at the Music Video Dance Party

Rec Room’s music video dance party is back! They’re playing all the best videos from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, so head over to play a couple of games and question what the hell happened to Soulja Boy.

When: Friday, March 22 @ 9 PM
Where: The Rec Room Calgary– 1180 901 64 Avenue NE

Refresh your look at the Naked & Famous Denim x Dutil Eyewear Launch

We love a good friendship, so we definitely love that Dutil and Naked & Famous Denim have stayed pals for over 10 years. To celebrate this milestone they’ve decided to launch the collaborative Dutil x Naked & Famous Denim Sunglasses! Pop by to enjoy 15% off everything in-store.

When: Friday, March 22 @ 1 PM
Where: 1216B 9th Ave SE

Get maple’d at the first ever Sugar Rush Festival

Maple is a staple when it comes to Canadian grub, so it’s no surprise that a festival in The Rockies has finally sprung up. We’ll be diving into maple syrup taffy, cocktails, and endless outdoor events.

When: Friday, March 22 to Sunday, March 24
Where: Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge— 1 Centennial Drive

Support something worthwhile at the Quinterra Legacy Fund fundraiser

Something new and bright will emerge out of a dark memory when our city’s first music & performance dedicated garden is built later this year. Called the Quinterra Legacy Garden, the community green space and performance amphitheater will honour the 5 victims of the 2014 Brentwood mass murder. Help raise funds for this new space and enjoy some family-friendly bowling at the same time!

When: Sunday, March 24 @ 6 PM
Where: National on 10th– 341 10th Ave SW
Cost: $25+
