Celebrate the end of the semester with friends

Festival has always been about bringing the campus community together to celebrate the previous year. Stay tuned for updates on the activities, entertainment and snacks coming to this year's in-person event.

What is the UCalgaryStrong Festival?

Since 2015, the UCalgaryStrong Festival has been a chance for students to unwind and have fun during exam season. Beginning as an artisan market and evolving into a multi-activity event with inflatable games, live music and delicious snacks, the goal of the event is to give students and the community a place to meet, have fun and relax.

For a sense of what to expect, check out the last in-person event in the video below.
