Pancake Breakfast
Thursday, July 9
9-11 AM | Front Plaza
With the help of the Calgary Stampede Batter Boys and Western Welcome, we invite you to join us for a FREE Pancake Breakfast! Enjoy a morning meal featuring treats from a Downtown West favourites, Art Café and Alforno, live music by local talent Melody Stang, and drop-in art activities for all ages. Returning again this year is local artist Erik Olson, who will be making artful pancakes.
To keep the western spirit going, the Ranchman’s Promotional Dance Team will be on site to lead a fun, drop-in line dancing tutorial. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or trying line dancing for the first time, everyone is welcome to join in!
Come for breakfast, stay for the art! Our exhibitions are open to explore free of charge from 9-11 AM. Bring your family and friends and celebrate with a morning of music, art, creativity, and community.
Donations are welcome to support the art of community building which we bring to life year round here at Contemporary Calgary.
FREE to the public—while supplies last.
