Summer’s epic sendoff: A colourful music festival with art & a cantina hits Calgary this weekend

Summer 2024 is nearing its end, but it won’t go quietly! This weekend, those who are holding on to the sun, sand, and fun of it all, will be encouraged to wear bright colours, and flowers in their hair for the Zen Garden Music Festival in Calgary, Alberta.

What can you expect

Described as an end-of-season celebration of house, tech-house, disco, bass, DnB, hip-hop, funk, and soul music, this vibrant event will transform Waterfront Park into three lush garden dance floors.

In addition to creating an inclusive, fully immersive environment, guests will also be encouraged to check out the cantina, food trucks, and can browse “lots and lots of art.”
