Jul 26 Plaza for All: Your guide to enjoying Arts Commons summer send-off

Arts Commons Presents, Elevating Your Experience

Whether you're flying solo or bringing friends and family to our annual summer send-off, Plaza for All guarantees a good time with country legends Emerson Drive and Kyle McKearney. So grab your best hat and cowboy boots (or sneakers, or sandals) and read on for everything you need to know before you go.

Party in the Plaza with Kardinal Offishall & Kiesza, August 30, 2023

First, remember to RSVP! Get updates and the chance to win a merch-filled prize. Oh, and did we mention it's free?

WHERE: Plaza for All will take place in Olympic Plaza located at 228 8th Ave SE.

There will be one entrance located on the Southwest corner of the Plaza. This event is gated, no pets are permitted (except service animals), and everyone onsite must adhere to standard City of Calgary park rules.

WHEN: Access to Olympic Plaza will open at 6pm, and we recommend arriving as early as possible to grab your spot, a bite from one of the food trucks, or a drink from the bar. Entry will be subject to capacity limits throughout the evening and bags will be checked upon arrival.

SCHEDULE:

6pm: Doors Open
7pm: Show start

WHAT TO BRING:

A blanket and/or festival chairs if you plan on sitting for the show.
ID if you are over the age of 18 and plan on drinking. Olympic Plaza will be licensed to serve alcohol during this event, and you will be asked to present your ID at the bar to receive a wristband.
A debit or credit card to purchase food and beverages at our onsite concessions. Cash will not be accepted. Also, outside food or drink is not permitted in the Plaza during this event.
Extra layers of clothing – we'll be there rain or shine, and you never know with the Calgary forecast! If extreme weather is expected, a call will be made closer to the performance date.
A charged cell phone or camera, because we can't wait to see your photos! Tag us @yycarts to show us your favourite moments from the evening.
