The Calgary Experience Starts Here
The C+E District offers attractions for everyone. It’s where Calgary gathers to celebrate sports, arts and community spirit. Entertainment, business and lifestyle intermingle here every day.
Over the next decade, the neighbourhood will welcome new amenities like a hotel, parks, an opera centre, shops and more that will bolster existing mainstays and transform The C+E into a flourishing hub of year-round activity.
Home to the Spirit of Celebration
Here you might find the wonder of the circus, a flash-mob of young students, TONS of team jerseys, multiple types of baritones, and visitors from all around the globe proudly wearing cowboy hats for the very first time. It’s a unique mix of home teams, schools, stages and festivals that together make celebration a goal, a vibe, a way of life.
The C+E District is home to:
Event Central
Many of Calgary’s best venues are right here, and more are coming. Catch a casual performance outside one of the training centres for the arts or attend a concert of your favourite international musician. Host a global conference or see local cowboys at work – from intimate to enormous, the venues of The C+E District are jumping with energy.

I believe in increased investment in districts like this that bring people together and use arts and culture as a means of helping to create and activate spaces for Calgarians.
