Friday, October 16 to Sunday, October 18, 2026
Calgary stacks its weekend with sound and drama this time around. From Friday, October 16 to Sunday, October 18, 2026, Candlelight: Vivaldi's Four Seasons & More lights up Grace Presbyterian Church with strings under candle glow, while Calgary Opera's Tosca brings full-blown tragedy to the Jubilee stage the same night. Catch your breath outdoors with Pacific FC at Calvary FC at Spruce Meadows on Saturday, a solid pick if you want fresh air between concerts. This is a music-heavy weekend with a side of sport, 11 dated outings in total covering opera, candlelight shows, soccer and more around the city.
If none of those dates line up with your schedule, the anytime section has you covered with Badlands day trips to Drumheller and scenic tours out to Lake Louise, Banff and Moraine Lake, all bookable whenever suits you. Plenty of shows, things to do and reasons to plan your Calgary weekend around this list. Scroll down and start picking.
