After spending the weekend in full rain mode, Calgary is now under a smoke warning, so it\u2019s important to be a bit more mindful when spending time outdoors. If you\u2019re heading out for Canada Day this week, it\u2019s worth checking the conditions before making any outdoor plans.<\/p>\n
Your Canada Day fireworks game plan<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking of Canada Day, the City of Calgary will be putting on their annual Canada Day fireworks show. One of the best viewing spots is the Max Bell Centre, located right off Deerfoot Trail and offering an absolutely amazing view of the city\u2019s skyline. The fireworks are expected to start at 11 p.m., so it\u2019s worth arriving a little earlier to secure a good spot before things fill up.<\/p>\n A new jewellery-making studio has arrived at CF Chinook Centre<\/a><\/p>\n The Gem Studio<\/a> just opened its first Calgary location at CF Chinook Centre, giving you a chance to create your own permanent bracelets this summer. You can go in, pick out a chain, get it welded on and leave with a bracelet that stays on long-term. It\u2019s a simple but fun experience if you\u2019re looking for something a little different to do with friends, especially if you want matching pieces that feel personal to you.<\/p>\n If there\u2019s one time to eat way too many pancakes, it\u2019s Stampede season<\/a><\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing that is a non-negotiable during the Calgary Stampede, it\u2019s the pancake breakfasts. It\u2019s the one time of year when nobody questions eating your body weight in pancakes before noon. Across the city, community groups, businesses and organizations host free breakfasts throughout all 10 days of the Calgary Stampede, making it easy to find one no matter where you are.<\/p>\n Some of the more popular stops this year include the 4th Street Pancake Showdown, where 11 griddles will be on the go, as well as the CF Market Mall breakfast, both drawing big crowds of early-morning Stampede-goers.<\/p>\n A new sushi spot just landed in northwest Calgary<\/a><\/p>\n While we\u2019re on the topic of food, Ryuko has opened a new location in Beacon Hill, bringing its modern Japanese menu to northwest Calgary. Known for its sushi, katsu, and beautifully plated dishes, it\u2019s a spot that feels a little more elevated than your usual casual dinner out without being overly formal. The new location keeps the same sleek, minimal vibe the restaurant is known for, making it a solid addition for anyone looking for a new go-to sushi spot in the city.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s your Calgary group chat update for the week. From Stampede breakfast and new food spots to a few openings and events worth checking out, there\u2019s no shortage of things to talk about right now. Whether you\u2019re planning your week or just checking out what\u2019s going on in the city, you\u2019re not officially up to date.<\/p>\n Recent posts:
