Downtown Gay History Walk @ Design Week Calgary

The Calgary Gay History Project’s Kevin Allen is enthusiastically participating in the inaugural Design Week Calgary, taking place from August 7th to 9th—chock-full of stimulating programming (and cool design).

On Saturday, August 9th, we will stroll through the city centre, highlighting significant political and social events that affected the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Along the way, we will pass by several former watering holes where Calgary’s queer community used to gather.

The one-hour walk begins and ends at the Hyatt Regency Calgary (700 Centre Street SE), specifically at their 8th Avenue Entrance/Pride Sidewalk.

🟢 When: Saturday, August 9th, 2025
