CHECK OUT THE VIRTUAL SPRUCE CHRISTMAS MARKET

This year, the Spruce Meadows International Christmas Market will take the web! As we’re sure you’ve already guessed the beloved event is going to look a little bit different than year’s past, but it’ll still be worth checking out! In 2020, instead of heading to the grounds, shoppers can check out their 300+ vendors online at their website above right from their living room. How cozy!

When: All month long
Where: Online here
Time: Anytime
Price:  Free

ENJOY THE ESKER FOUNDATION’S FALL EXHIBITS

This weekend catch this season’s incredible solo exhibits by Liz Magor, Samuel Roy-Bois, and Jon Sasaki at the Esker Foundation! This Inglewood gallery is a great way to spend an hour or two one afternoon, and it’s totally FREE!

When: All weekend long
Where: 4th Floor, 1011 – 9th Avenue SE, Inglewood, Calgary
Time: Book your time here

HEAD TO THE HILLS 

We have a sneaky suspicion that this year, ski and snowboard season will be crazier than ever before. With event cancellations and the capacity of indoor activities limited, people will be jonesing to head to the hills. Luckily, there’s one local resort where you can do exactly that! Lake Louise is open and ready for business – so if the mountains are calling your name, go ahead – answer them! 

When: Whenever
Where: 1 Whitehorn Road, Lake Louise, AB
Time: See times above
Cost: $59+ (adult single day pass)

TREAT THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE, WITHOUT LEAVING THE HOUSE

Thanks to COVID and the unpredictable weather, we think it’s safe to say that most of you would prefer to stay in, stay cozy and stay healthy on the weekends – but that doesn’t mean you should also stay apart! Check out our guide above for some exciting date ideas that will make you feel like you’re together, even when you aren’t.

When: Whenever
Where: At home!
Time: Anytime
Cost: Prices vary

There you have it, friends. 8 things to do in Calgary this weekend… we hope that’ll do the trick! If not… sleep, alcohol and puppy cuddles work almost every time. Stay safe out there!
