Pop-Up Picnic - June 29, 2022

This year we’re doing Pop-Up Picnics EVERY WEEK this summer! This week’s location is the McDougall Centre grounds and the theme is “Sinatra in the Park”

Don’t miss this clam-bake for an extravaganza of Sinatra in the Park! With Johnny Summers and his 8 piece “Little Big Band” performing Frank Sinatra hits, you’ll want to Come Fly Me while singing WOW-EE WOW WOW as Sinatra would say. Bring your lunch, and enjoy entertainment in the park, as well as vendors, and lawn games like ring toss, horseshoes and giant jenga!

Thanks again to Aaron Young and Steve Fletcher for your beautiful performance today! Don’t miss next Thursday performance at Fifth Avenue Place, visit downtowncalgary.com for more info about our #StreetPiano series. #IAMDOWNTOWN #yyc
