Christmas In Inglewood

Nobody Does Christmas Like Inglewood!

Leave the mall and ‘shop local’ this festive season on Calgary’s favorite, historic, walkable main street!

Saturdays from November 26th-December 17th: Take a photo with Santa, enjoy live music (indoors and outside) on the Music Mile, and enjoy free hot chocolate*.

Baby, you are gorgeous, but your eyebrows are out of control! Inglewood has your party season beauty needs taken care of with 20+ salons, barber shops and beauty spas.

Have a partner or friend who is more of a sitter ( read: ” I need a cold beer and a warm seat”) than a shopper? Live music venues including The Blues Can,The Ironwood and The Attic will check that box!

Art galleries including the Esker foundation, Vivian Art, the Collector’s Gallery of Art and Circa Vintage Art Glassallow for contemplation and a rest from the bustling main street!

Inglewood is Calgary’s historic brewery area- for international award-winning microbrewery beer ( or a classy cocktail at the historic Off Cut Bar or trendy new Business and Pleasure) after a busy day of shopping- you have come to the right place.

And last, but definitely not least… the many independent, creative, curated businesses will fill your gift needs. And you will be doing what you love to do-having a great day while shopping local!

Northern Reflections Augmented Reality Art Walk: Inglewood + East Village (guided walking tour Jan 29th at 1pm)

Augmented Reality (AR) adds graphics, sounds, touch and feedback into what we already see in front of us, through a device like an app on your phone. AR uses an existing display and overlays virtual information on top of it. You’ve probably already encountered AR without even realizing it – think Snapchat filters and Pokémon GO. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR) which transports you to a different world, AR transforms your own personal reality and perspective. The AR application, Augle, is available for download in the App Store and Google Play.

For the second year, Inglewood showcases business windows though a combination of mural, animation and music, viewed with the Augle App. The Art Walk takes place over Chinook Blast, from January 21st to February 28th, 2022, and this year includes East Village. Northern Reflection Augmented Reality Art Walk is a free, outdoors, immersive art experience for everyone to enjoy. Check out @inglewoodyyc as the tour rolls out.
