A new festival celebrating summer sips, eats & more is coming to Calgary

This summer is going to be one for the books! Really, the only thing that it was missing up ’till now was a city-wide festival and wouldn’t you believe it, one was just announced! Foodies, shopaholics, and friends, we hope that you leave a few bucks left in your pocket after the Stampede because 2021’s Summer Cool-er event is just around the corner.

From the folks behind Calgary’s beloved YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, comes a new community-positive event meant to showcase local business, raise money for Meals On Wheels, and of course, celebrate seasonal grub, plants, clothing, and more!

“This exciting new event is an opportunity for Calgarians to make a difference in their community, and to have FUN doing it!” They say on their website.
