Okotoks Food Tour
Have you ever explored the food scene in Okotoks?
This charming tour will hit many of the coffee shops, light snacks, and light eating options that downtown Okotoks has to offer. It might be a bit of a drive, but we still think it counts as one of the best Calgary food events.
When: Every Saturday in October
Where: Okotoks Towne Plaza
Price: Buy tickets here
Visit the new fried chicken spot Cluck N Cleaver
This new outpost is located in Southwest Calgary at 151 Walden Gate SE. The grand opening happened on Thursday, October 5.
Cluck N Cleaver’s chicken, which is supplied by local Alberta farms, is offered by the piece (think crispy, moist Southern-style fried chicken).
Address: 151 Walden Gate SE Suite 220, Calgary
Sunday Brunch Trivia
A brunch menu filled with eggs benny, mimosas, delicious french toast, and lots of local craft beer is enough for us, but the trivia to go along with it makes it even more fun.
