We’ve got a very special BUMP UP queued up for this Friday, in partnership with the Bridgeland-riverside Community Association!

We’ve got music from Molly Fi and Mother Mary soundtracking his work – join us for a look at this superbly unique project and stick around for a dance! ?

Ms. Clarity curated a great selection of tracks for our first Music in the Park pop-up on Sunday.

• Music in the Park + Farmer’s Market @ Central Memorial Park w/ Myke Atkinson and Benanas – Saturday, 10am to 1pm

CJSW waveshaper Myke Atkinson and potassium-based turntablist Benanas are bringing their sounds to a late-morning edition of Music in the Park. YYC Growers will be present running their pop-up farmer’s market at the same time. Guaranteed to be the grooviest grocery run you’ve ever done ???

• BUMP UP! w/ Pallares and LUUM @ Kerzeka/John F. Ross Wall – Saturday, 2-5pm

There’s an abundance of art happening on the West End of 17th. Kerzeka and John F. Ross start painting their respective walls this week! Kerzeka are painting the Alpha House Veteran’s Building, and John is redecorating the northern facade of Shawarma Knight. The back streets these two walls share will be filled with the sounds of multigenre mastermind Pallares and elusive sonic chameleon LUUM. Nothing like a lil’ alley party to spice up your weekend!

Just a peek at what our Graffiti Jam artists got up to over the weekend.

• Music in the Park @ Central Memorial Park w/ Citysleep, Sergeant & Comrade and Bennett Mitchell – Sunday, 2-5pm

What better way to wrap up a music-filled weekend than with some bands? We’re thrilled to be bringing the sounds of Citysleep, Sergeant & Comrade, and Bennett Mitchell to Central Memorial Park! Guaranteed good times in one of Calgary’s most scenic spots – see you there ?
