So you’ve taken another lap around the sun. Whether you’re an over-the-top type who expects a Super Sweet 16-level shindig or a low-key celebration, we think that everyone can agree that getting free stuff is pretty cool!

Being born and making it this far has been hard work, so this year (and every year) you deserve a dessert or drink on the house… Not our house of course, but a house.

Not sure where to go? Here are just a few places in Calgary where you can get FREE stuff on your birthday!
