HELIPAD HOOPS: MURAL UNVEILING

August 06, 2026

10:00 AM - 13:00 PM

A former helipad becomes one of the largest murals in BUMP Festival history, created in partnership with the City of Calgary.

Join us as we celebrate the unveiling of a monumental ground mural by Montreal artist Marc-Olivier Lamothe, transforming a decommissioned helipad in Eau Claire Park into a new place for the people who move through it every day. Alongside the opening of three new community basketball half courts, the project marks a new chapter for this unique site, where public art and recreation come together in the heart of Calgary.

Join us and our community partners Calgary SURGE, CJSW, Activate YYC and the National Music Center for this fantastic start to our festival!
