*insert Justin Timberlake meme here* It’s May guys. Well, almost May. We gotta spend our last April days having fun, ’cause warm weather is on the way! Keep reading for 8 things that will probably (definitely) make your week a whole lot better.
DINE UNDER THE STARS 2019
You’ll be able to stargaze and take in the views of Fish Creek Park, all while chowing down on an elegant 4-course meal. There will be wine, champagne, and absolutely no chance of getting wet since the domes are weather protective. If this doesn’t sound like an ideal dinner for you, we don’t know what will.
When: Runs from Wednesday, May 1 – Friday, May 31
Where: Fish Creek Park
Calgary International Beer Festival
Wanna increase your beer knowledge? What about find a new go-to pint? Orrr, maybe you just wanna sample over 500 different brews? We don’t blame you. It’s time for Calgary International Beerfest! With beer seminars, People’s Choice awards, delicious food, and entertainment, this is a heck of a good time. Plus you get to take home your own CIBF mug, which is pretty fantastic if you ask us.
When: Friday May 3 @ 3PM
Where: BMO Centre
Cinco de Mayo Party
