‘Tis the season for holiday cheer, and what better way to share it than through some good ‘ol-fashioned carolling?

It’s a beautiful Christmas tradition, and in Calgary, you can share in the festive cheer at this annual Carol Festival presented by choirs and musicians from the Calgary West Stake and the Calgary community.

It’s a free, in-person event for the whole family that will also be livestreamed so you can sing along. Let heaven and nature sing at this festive Christmas event.

What to expect

The Calgary Carol Festival is a tradition that began in 2013, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invite all to attend for this year’s edition.

It’s a festival that has brought tidings of comfort and joy for more than four years in Calgary, and you can watch their livestreamed show all the way back to 2021 on their website if you’re keen to know more.

The year’s event is titled “Peace on Earth” and will feature instrumentalists and singers providing enchanting classical music. Performers for 2025 include Dolce, Draper Family Handbells, Festival Chamber Choir, Festival Children’s Choir, GrUCho Choir, Noteworthy Duo, Second Chants, and the William Aberhart High School Choir.

For many, it’s a favourite annual event to gather in community with loved ones. It all takes place at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is free to attend for everyone.

If you’d like to join in the festivities without leaving the comfort of home, you can watch all the performances live on the Calgary Carol Festival website.

The joy of music truly is a blessing, and especially during Christmastime, there’s nothing better to help you ring in the spirit of this holiday season.

Musical traditions celebrating Christmas are age-old, wishing peace on earth in joyous harmony. Join the spirit of this traditional festival this winter, and experience the good tidings of the season.
