The skies of Calgary are going to light up during the annual Globalfest extravaganza! The 2023 festival kicks off at Elliston Park on August 17, 2023, and runs until August 26, 2023, with five nights of fireworks, food, and unforgettable family fun.

Starting at 6 pm on festival nights, head over to Elliston Park to enjoy the OneWorld Festival. The OneWorld Festival brings you an evening of cultural programming before the fireworks, with food, music and dance, a Tipi Village, and international pavilions. Enjoy a delicious selection of over 25 food trucks and international food booths for a culinary tour of the world. Check out the cultural pavilions, children’s programming, community activation spaces, and a night market, too! Calgary’s cultural communities will showcase their heritage dress, cultural music, and incredible performances on two stages in the park.
