The Core has to be at the top of this list – it’s packed with so many different things to do during the cold winter months. A classic holiday favourite for Calgarians is skating at Olympic Plaza (which has just opened for the season). There are also some great events taking over Olympic Plaza to watch for, like GlowFest.
You’ll also find the most beautiful pathway downtown on Stephen Avenue as it transforms with twinkly lights.

Bowness is a charming neighbourhood in Calgary no matter the season, but it gets extra special during the winter months with all of its outdoor activities. You can take to the skating rink that’s draped in lights or cozy up around one of the many fire pits.
The rink hasn’t opened yet, but you can watch for announcements on the website here.

We’ve highlighted Inglewood many times before in articles about great neighbourhoods in Calgary, but a Christmas list of the city would be incomplete without it. The history of the area lends itself to the Christmas charm – what’s more charming than Edwardian and Victorian architecture surrounded by dazzling lights?
There are also so many cute local shops for holiday shopping, you will definitely find something for everyone because all the stores are unique! There is also an annual Christmas market that you won’t want to miss!
