Calgary International Beerfest brings a weekend of tastings to the BMO Centre at Stampede Park.
Taking place 1–2 May 2026, this Alberta Beer Festivals event is organised around timed sessions, with an evening slot on Friday and two options on Saturday. The setting is central and easy to reach by public transport, with Stampede Park’s venues clustered in Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District. Admission is sold in session tickets and includes a commemorative sample mug, while sampling is designed to be straightforward and easy to pace. If you’re planning a spring visit to Calgary, it’s an excellent anchor date for a long weekend: pick a session that fits your schedule, then explore the city’s breweries, neighbourhood food spots and riverside walks between pours. Expect a lively atmosphere and a big-city crowd.
