There are so many great festivals in Calgary that sometimes it can be hard to stand out, but Fiesteval never has that problem.
Dubbed “the largest Latin American music and culture festival in Calgary,” Fiesteval returns this summer from July 21 to July 23 at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary.

Back in its usual spot of the weekend after the Calgary Stampede, Fiestaval aims to turn downtown into a giant fiesta.
The weekend will be loaded with plenty of entertainment options from all over the world, including some great Canadian talent.

And of course, the food will be incredible, with 30 authentic food vendors that make this one of the most unique festivals in Calgary.
Festival goers will also enjoy a classic artisan market, along with a kids’ area and lots of other fun things to check out.

This is one of many amazing festivals that we have coming to our city this year, and that’s beyond just the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede.
