a burger festival that takes place each year where participating restaurants from various Canadian cities compete to create a unique burger; reflective of their overall concept and cuisine.

The ‘Masters’ includes iconic events such as the CP International, presented by Rolex, BMO Nations’ Cup, Name the Foal, presented by TELUS, ATCO Electric Six Bar, WestJet Evening of the Horse, fireworks, live music, and more.

In addition to sampling delicious barbecue from the five best ribbers around (that’s Pistol Pete’s, Billy’s BBQ, Buckeye BBQ, Blazin’ BBQ and Papa Jack’s), there’ll also be entertainment, raffles, cold drinks and more at McMahon Stadium’s north parking lot. Entry into the event is free, and all donation proceeds go to the Rotary Clubs of Calgary.

Head into the Granary Road Active Learning Park for all kinds of garlicky themed fun and don’t forget to visit our Farmers Market for all things garlic, including eats, treats and garlic features from our market vendors.

Visitors to the exhibition will discover a selection of masks, sculpture and regalia, complemented by Bob’s work in bronze casting and vestment production. In his works, Bob reinterprets the traditional characters and iconography from the age-old stories of his people, at times transforming those traditional tales with European influences.
