It’s back to school we go!

At least that will be the grind if you’re a kid, parent, or university-goer.

Calgary’s leaves have begun to turn and the weather has cooled down, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still a ton fun activities happening around the city to get you outdoors and basking in all the beauty that Fall has to offer.

Take a spin by the river, try out a life-size board game throughout the city, or attend one of the many festivals and markets happening all month long. Don’t forget about your fall fitness routine!

We have put together 70 of the very best things happening this September here in Calgary. Are you ready for the best month of 2018 yet?
