Design Week Calgary is a city-wide festival celebrating the impact of design on everyday life. Featuring talks, exhibitions, tours, workshops, film screenings, and community events, the festival brings together designers, artists, businesses, and the public to explore ideas shaping Calgary’s future.
This year’s theme, In Tune, explores the rhythms of the city around us—its sounds, spaces, people, and everyday experiences.
