Calgary Weekend Edition
Radio Brief
September 11–13, 2026
The weekend in one line:
Calgary is moving from summer into fall: one final outdoor night market Friday, opening weekend at the Farmyard, and two big free Sunday gatherings.
First answer
What is happening this weekend?
It feels like Calgary's handoff from summer to fall. Friday has the final outdoor Inglewood Night Market of the season. Saturday is the first fall weekend at Calgary Farmyard, alongside the annual Monster Jam stop. Sunday is unusually strong for free events, with the fifth Taste of Italy festival and the Calgary Philharmonic playing outdoors at Prince's Island Park.
- The theme: last chance for a summer favorite, first chance for fall activities.
- The broadest picks: Inglewood tonight, the Farmyard Saturday, Taste of Italy or Phil in the Park Sunday.
- The useful contrast: lively festival, full family day, big spectacle, or a calm free concert.
