Old junk transforms into masks, puppets, and instruments in a tale that shows us how love and sacrifice could save our planet.
- Sit. Stay. Slay!: A Dog Inclusive Drag Show! Do you ever feel guilty leaving your dog at home while you go off on fun adventures and see cool things? Now you don’t have to! Bring your dog to this one-of-a-kind experience where we bring incredibly talented local drag artists to ContainR Park in Sunnyside for an unforgettable show. We offer a family-friendly and dog-inclusive event with performances, vendors, raffle prizes, contests, and more! We work in partnership with local charities, rescues, and businesses to bring together an event that feels wholesome and community building.
- Romeo & MOOliet: Calgary's best Bovine-Bard-Bonanza! This ridiculous, music-filled adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic is guaranteed to be the best thing you've ever HERD.
