The calendar is insisting that spring is coming. Even in Calgary. The evenings get longer (don’t forget the time change!) and the weather could start warming up soon. Plus, many schools have a week off and this year, Easter falls at the very end of the month. This is March! Check out some fun events in Calgary this March.

Symphony Sundays with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra brings you Dan Brown’s Wild Symphony on March 3, 2024. This is a fabulous and fun introduction to classical music.

Arts Commons Presents has terrific, educational shows for the whole family, like their National Geographic Live series. On March 10 – 11, 2024, get your tickets for Lindsay Zanno: T. rex Rises. Dr. Lindsay Zanno is a paleontologist whose work has helped us picture the world of the dinosaurs.

Get out of the house every Wednesday morning with Story Time at Heritage Park. You’ll enjoy favourite stories at favourite places and can pick up a craft to take home, too.

The Cineplex Family Favourites are such a great way to enjoy an outing without breaking the bank. Every Saturday in March, your family can head to the theatre for the low price of $3.99 (plus fees) per ticket. That might even leave enough left over to share popcorn!

Get a little free crafting fun at Michaels Make Break events, on select Sunday afternoons in March or Michaels Kids’ Club events, on select Saturday mornings.

It’s time to plan an adventure with the Outdoor Adventure and Travel Show! There are fun activities and things to see for the whole family from March 16 – 17, 2024.

Catch dinner (lunch) and a show! Jubilations Jr. is presenting Beach Barbie’s Birthday Bash until March 23, 2024. Besides enjoying your meal, you’ll also appreciate the amazing and all-Canadian show; it’s a 2-act musical comedy, with world-famous, interactive character servers. It’s entertaining for the adults and the kids.

Spring break is right around the corner. If you’re looking for a more structured plan for March 25 – 29, 2024, we’re working hard on building a convenient guide to spring break camp ideas in Calgary this year. Even if Mom and Dad don’t have to work, camp is just plain fun.
