Various locations throughout Alberta

Events:
For a list of over 635 events throughout Alberta click here

From September 1 to 30 there are 30 days to discover, experience and celebrate virtual and in person, indoors and outdoors. Alberta Culture Days is an opportunity to discover, experience and celebrate arts and culture through local events and activities, in person and online across the province.
During these times of uncertainty, Alberta Culture Days is encouraging community organizations to explore and transform how this celebration is shared with Albertans. Month of the Artist was moved to September to complement this initiative. Alberta Culture Days community organizations will have the opportunity to host their event/activities throughout the month of September.
More than 800 communities from coast to coast participated in National Culture Days 2019 to increase awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. Nationally, Culture Days 2020 is extending beyond the traditional Culture Days Weekend to a more inclusive and interactive 4-week schedule of activities from September 25 to October 25.

Events
Anyone can host an Alberta Culture Days event. With current restrictions on public gatherings, Alberta Culture Days encourages community organizers to host events, either online or small in-person activities, to celebrate Alberta Culture Days 2020.
You can explore anything from online art classes to singing competitions, to online cooking classes and dance lessons – opportunities are endless! There is no shortage of online platforms to show off your cultural celebrations this year – and not only with your community but far beyond. Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams, Facebook Live, Instagram Live, and YouTube are at your service to engage with art and culture lovers everywhere. You can also pre-record an event and post it online.
If public gatherings are permitted, your event could be something simple like a neighbourhood block party, a behind-the-scene tour of an arts facility or as elaborate as a community concert. The opportunities are endless. Alberta Culture Days even has event planning tips and tools to organize activities in your community.

The artists creating the “likenesses” are, like the authors, amongst Canada’s best.
Single tickets: $15
Will be made available online seven days before each event, as the author pairings are announced

Wordfest is turning 25 this year and they were planning an ambitious live festival in September to celebrate the anniversary, featuring 25 authors in 25 events. But everything is different now. So they’ve decided to try something different. Something that could ONLY happen online.
They started with a question: Who? Whose turn should it be in the spotlight? Who can blow it all up? Who can pull us back together? It is no longer about one voice, one vision, one curator, one way forward. We’re in this together.
Imagine, instead, that they create something different: a series of genuine connections that add up to a kind of daisy chain. A daisy chain of 13 weekly online events – authentic, unexpected author pairings – every Tuesday night between September 8 and December 8.
Who to invite? Who to pair? Wordfest put the invitations – the Daisy, if you will – into the hands of Wordfest’s most beloved alumni (who also happen to Canada’s tastiest writers) and asked them who they most wanted to connect with on a virtual stage. It could be someone emerging. A peer who deserves the spotlight. Someone they just like talking to. Or an author they’ve never met, but whose work has stuck with them.
All of the authors’ choices have been so deliciously inspired that each one blew will blow your mind. But here’s the fun part: you won’t know who is appearing until one week before they take the virtual stage at Wordfest.com. At the end of every Tuesday event, the authors will reveal the names of the next authors that will be following them in the Daisy Chain.

September 18-27, 2020

YYC Pizza Week

Various locations

YYC Pizza Week is a 10-day annual event with charity, community, and pizza crusts in mind. Each year, local participating restaurants craft an original recipe in a competition to be lauded Calgary's best pizza. From every purchase, a slice of the proceeds goes to Calgary Meals on Wheels, thereby directly supporting the needs of Calgarians by making sure they are well-fed. At its core, YYC Pizza Week is about supporting COMMUNITY; support that is needed now more than ever, not only for our neighbours in need of healthy meals, but also for our local businesses as we all adapt to the changes around us. It’s about celebrating our resilience and strength TOGETHER. In further efforts to support our local businesses this year, all registration fees for Pizza Vendors are by donation on a “give what you can” basis, and not required to take part in the 2020 event. Pizza Week Loves YYC, so help support our neighbours, one ‘za at a time!
In 2014, Wanda Baker, founder of YYC Pizza Week, established a 10-day, annual event with charity, community and pizza crusts in mind. Each year, local participating restaurants craft an original recipe in a competition to be lauded Calgary's best pizza. From every purchase, a slice of the proceeds goes to Calgary Meals on Wheels, thereby directly supporting the needs of Calgarians by making sure they are well-fed. In a joint effort, more than 40 participating restaurants and our pizza-lovin' community raised nearly $50,000 in the past six years.

Calgary Meals on Wheels
Regardless of age, ability, or life-circumstances, we all have something to offer the world. It may be as simple as a smile, or it may be a testament to the courage everyday living requires — whatever shape our gifts take, they exist within all of us to share. At Calgary Meals on Wheels, they give the comfort of healthy, nutritious meals to anyone who needs it, so they can continue giving themselves to the world. What they aim to offer their clients is far more than full stomachs, they want to offer them the chance to be the heroes of their own stories.

This year’s Marathon of Sport will be an hour long, action packed, and interactive broadcast that you can follow along with from ANYWHERE! Throughout the program, Canadian sport celebrities will challenge you to a series of fitness activities as we come together in support of the Special Olympics Canada Foundation!

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
As one of Special Olympics Canada’s largest funding partners, and with local fundraising initiatives on hold, Special Olympics athletes need our support more than ever. For many of them, Special Olympics is not just about sport, or staying fit and healthy, but also about providing a social network, a sense of belonging and a valuable source of stability – all essential to their mental and physical health.
The funds raised in the past have already helped Special Olympic chapters in pivoting to a virtual model that supports athletes’ physical and mental health. The goal for this year is to raise the important funds needed in order to ensure that all Special Olympics programs can return stronger than ever, and that no athlete is left behind.
motionball is a national non-profit that empowers young Canadians to be leaders in their communities, raising funds and awareness for Special Olympics through integrated social and sporting events.We believe that the next generation of Canadians, today’s students and young professionals, are the future of the Special Olympics movement – with the power to make a meaningful difference for generations to come.
Its purpose is to create a sustainable funding model and base of supporters for the Special Olympics movement, while at the same time, providing more people with the tools to pursue their passions and make a difference in their own communities.
The mandate is to introduce the next generation of donors, volunteers and sponsors to the Special Olympics movement through integrated social and sporting events. motionball now proudly hosts 50+ annual events in 17 Canadian cities and 34 university campuses. Through these events and as a result of the many individuals, partners and organizations that have supported the movement, motionball has donated over $13,000,000 net since its inception in 2002.

Alberta Beer Festivals present Brew Ed. (POSTPONED)

Brewer's Apprentice, N3 448 8 Ave. S.E.

6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. each class

Registration: $165
Includes all four "classes" including beer and brewery tour. Registration can be bought as a gift to use in any month in 2020.

Alberta Beer Festivals has always been about beer education. In order to continue that practise, they have created Brew Ed. (formerly Beer School), a four-part course that will cover all aspects about beer. Intimidated by the number of beers available and would like to know more about different beer styles? Are you currently employed or thinking about working in the restaurant service or alcohol retail industry? Do you plan to take the Cicerone Certification Program or want to learn more about the Beer Judge Certification Program? Intent on becoming a home brewer, but would like to know what varieties to brew? Or, simply, you just like beer and would like to know more about it? If you answered yes to any of the above, then Brew Ed is for you.

Each class of 10 people (maximum) will run approximately three hours and will cover a different topic such as the history of beer styles, how beer is made, and get up and personal with beer’s different ingredients. We will study beer’s characteristics and components, what makes a good beer, and even learn how to judge a beer. You’ll also learn a bit about beer packaging, glassware and home brewing. Lastly, we will also look at some food and beer pairings and talk about cooking with beer. Approximately a dozen beers will be sampled each class, so you’ll see and taste the difference between the different beer styles. The final class will be a “field trip” to one of Calgary’s breweries, where the “students” can see how beer is made first hand. And note: there will be NO final exam!

In addition to learning about the world’s most popular alcoholic beverage in an educational yet fun “classroom” you will:
- Receive your own Growler
- Be eligible to win some beer swag
- Try some surprise beers
- Be eligible to judge and/or steward at Calgary International Beerfest in May 2021, which includes free admission to the show. Details will be explained in “class”.

So register for Calgary’s most comprehensive beer learning experience today, before all the spots fill up! The next session will begin in late October 2020. Note: You must be 18 years or older to register.

Annual Okanagan Fall Wine Festival (CANCELLED)

Okanagan Wine Country, B.C.

Unfortunately, the inability to host large events in 2020 due to Coronavirus has greatly affected the BC events industry. Therefore, there is no formal Okanagan Fall Wine Festival in 2020. However, the winereies and their tasting rooms remain open. You can also be the first to try the winners of the 2020 BC Lieutenant Governor’s Wine Awards, which will be judged September 23-25 at Manteo Resort in Kelowna (not open to the public). As the oldest, largest and most prestigious wine judging competition in BC, this event provides the opportunity for all licensed BC wineries to have their best wines judged by a highly esteemed industry panel. Presented by Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union, the competition recognizes a wide variety of wine styles and had well over 700 wines judged in 2019. So, while there will be no large events, the wine still awaits you.
Warm, desert days and cool nights. Its just what the doctor or in this case, viticulturist ordered to ripen the grapes and prepare for harvest. It also makes it a great time to visit the Okanagan.
For eighteen days in October the Annual Fall Okanagan Wine Festival is a celebration of earthly delights. In what would be its 40th year, it is the premier event produced by the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society. Talk about an authentic experience, the 18 day festival takes place across the Valley during grape harvest. The event has been among the 100 top events in North America for the past 16 years, and has earned a reputation for creating a superb wine experience at the heart of the industry. With over 200 events happening around the valley, well...you get the picture. It is the only festival in North America to happen at the heart of harvest. Must be something in the wine.

39th Great American Beer Festival (ONLINE)

Local events throughout the USA and online

Tickets:
GABF Festival Passport Only: $20
GABF Festival Passport + Commemorative T-Shirt: $49
Between October 1-18, Great American Beer Festival passport holders will have exclusive access to beery deals at participating festival breweries nationwide.
In addition, from October 16-17, passport holders will have exclusive access to online content during the Official Virtual Festival. Tune in for tips and tricks to enhance beer knowledge and enjoyment; lager lore and sudsy stories from craft beer luminaries; profiles of breweries and individuals that are transforming their communities one beer at a time; and flavor fusions through beer and food pairings to tantalize the taste buds.

Each year, GABF represents the largest collection of U.S. beer ever served, in a public tasting event plus a private competition. GABF brings together the brewers and diverse beers that make the U.S. the world’s greatest brewing nation.
GABF was founded in 1982, and has been growing and evolving along with the American craft brewing industry ever since.
Due to the global health pandemic, the 2020 festival will look different as it moves online.
The Great American Beer Festival®? (GABF), the country’s preeminent beer festival and competition, will pivot its 2020 event, originally scheduled for September 24-26 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, to an immersive online experience October 16-17. This decision was further confirmed with the announcement on May 20, when Colorado Governor Jared Polis issued an Executive Order temporarily suspending certain statutes to allow the operation of alternate care sites in Colorado due to the presence of coronavirus disease 2019, rendering GABF at the Colorado Convention Center infeasible.
The festival plans to offer a compelling schedule of virtual experiences and live activations across the country. The GABF competition will take place this fall, with an anticipated 7,000+ entries. Awards will be announced on Friday, October 16 via live streaming. Look forward to celebrating the annual accomplishments in brewing excellence and to “seeing everyone” this fall.
Due to the global health pandemic, there will be no gathering in person in Denver this fall to celebrate the wonderful world of craft beer together. So this year, we’re not only going to meet in spirit, but virtually and locally, as we “Brewnite” and bring the 39th annual Great American Beer Festival (GABF) to you through a nationwide “passport” program.
Between October 1-18, Great American Beer Festival passport holders will have exclusive access to beery deals at participating festival breweries nationwide. In addition, passport holders will have exclusive access to online content during the official virtual festival dates, October 16-17. The online schedule will include fun, interactive activities like Brewers Studio happy hours, tastings and interviews with brewers from around the country. All content will be broadcast via The Brewing Network.
