Macaron Day is right around the corner, landing on Tuesday, March 20 this year.
Calgary is something of a haven when it comes to the Macacrons, with many shops and bakeries around the city offering their own versions of the coffee accompaniments.
If you haven’t yet had the chance to try out some of these places, no worries! There’s no better day to try it out than on the one literally dedicated to macarons, and you may even find yourself saving some cash through celebratory deals.
Here’s a few spots around the city to find the colourful (and delicious) little confections.
