BREAKFAST ON THE GO // Heading to the grounds? Make a stop in Kensington and grab breakfast on the go! @cobsbreadkensington has sweet and savoury pastries that pair perfectly with a coffee from @aggudo_coffee or a smoothie from @freshii if you’re feeling extra fresh. Then just stroll over to Sunnyside Station and hop on the Red Line (Somerset-Bridlewood) to Stampede Park. Happy Stampeding!

Celebrating Indigenous Arts in Kensington

Kensington is proud to host “Celebrating Indigenous Arts in Kensington,” a vibrant showcase of Indigenous arts and culture as part of Chinook Blast.

Join us on February 8, from noon to 2 p.m., for an exciting lineup of Indigenous artists and performers who will highlight traditional and contemporary expressions through art, music and storytelling. Visitors can enjoy live performances by Sorrel Rider, representing the Siksika Nation, part of the Blackfoot Confederacy, who will honour the rich history and diversity of Indigenous communities. This outdoor experience offers an opportunity to connect with culture and creativity while embracing the spirit of Calgary’s winter festival.

“I love Kensington. I’ve been visiting it for 20 years and although it keeps getting better, I love how it still has the same welcoming feel.”
