Chinook Blast is Calgary’s newest outdoor arts and cultural experience, bringing some fun to February’s long, cold days (and nights.)

The public art and light installations are designed to help Calgarians embrace the season and show the world that we’re not afraid of a little cold.

Wander through the Chinook Blast Hub in downtown Calgary, or visit a few of their partner pop-up exhibits in the communities of Inglewood, Kensington, Chinatown, Crescent Heights, and Victoria Park.
