What’s Good Calgary!
Monday has arrived, unfortunately, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Say goodbye to the Monday blues and hello to five fun things happening this week that’ll make you actually look forward to the rest of it! Whether you’re a foodie, a dancer, a theatre fan, or just looking for something different, we’ve lined up something for everyone. Here’s what’s on deck:
Pasta making class
Couples cocktail class
Hilarious theatre performance
Dance extravaganza
Flames hockey night
Pasta Perfection at Lina’s Italian Mercato
First up, gnocchi like Nonna makes it! If you’ve ever wondered how to create that soft, pillowy bite of ricotta gnocchi, this masterclass is your golden ticket. Held by the culinary experts at Lina’s Italian Mercato, this hands on experience will have you kneading, rolling, and shaping like a pro. You’ll even get to watch a demo of the final dish (bonus: no dishes to wash at home). Whether you’re a pasta aficionado or just want to try something new, this class will have you saying “Mamma mia!” by the end.
Shake It Til You Make It Couples Mixology Class
Not a pasta person? Prefer to keep your hands busy mixing drinks instead of dough? Say less. This romantic mixology class is the ideal date night. Learn how to shake, stir, and sip your way through a series of cocktail classics with your significant other by your side. Expect a night of fun energy, flirty vibes, and of course, fabulous drinks. Cheers to love and liquor!
Austentatious Theatre, A Delightfully Ridiculous Romp
Craving something hands off where you can just sit back and laugh? Austentatious is the answer. Think Jane Austen meets improv comedy, with a whole lot of charm and a dash of chaos. This musical theatre hybrid is witty, cheeky, and sometimes hilariously off the rails, in the best way possible. It’s terrible theatre done incredibly well, and you’ll leave humming a tune and smiling ear to ear.
Calgary Dance Stampede, Yahoo Meets Boogie
Ready to dust off your cowboy boots and hit the dance floor? The Calgary Dance Stampede is back, and it’s Canada’s largest and longest-running country swing, West Coast swing, and line dance event. Despite its size, it’s managed to keep things cozy, welcoming, and full of heart. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a first-timer, there’s no better place to shake a leg and meet a few new dance partners. Giddy up!
Flames vs. Wild: Friday Night at the Dome
We’re capping the week off with a bang, Flames style. This Friday, April 11th, the Calgary Flames host the Minnesota Wild at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The playoff race is heating up, so grab your jersey, sip some dome foam, and get loud. It’s your chance to rally behind the home team, soak in the energy, and maybe yell “SHOOOOOT” or “AWOOOO” a few times (it’s tradition).
That’s the lineup, Calgary! A week full of good food, good drinks, good laughs, and good vibes. We’ll be back soon with more hand picked happenings to help you make the most of this amazing city. Until then, stay curious, stay social, and stay awesome.
