If you're around town on Sunday Calgary is having a food festival based on all of the ethical and local food produced in the area. REAP is showcasing the top restaurants, catering companies, and especially grocers - Community Natural Foods - in Calgary. The event is called Food For Thought and it is $25 a ticket if you buy online beforehand or $30 at the door, but its great because that gets you 21 food samples from each vendor.
It is going to be along the riverside walk, in front of the Simmons building in the East Village. Which is fitting since that is the next sector of the city I was going to be touching on. Looking at the list of vendors it will be a great showcase of Calgary's restaurants if you're not familiar with them. Most of my favourites are going including The Coup, Caffe Beano, Boxwood and more.

I think it'll be a great event and I can't wait to see everyone there. Locals and hopefully some of you tourists alike!
Also, if you have sometime and want to do something off the beaten path the Calgary International Film Festival starts today and runs until September 30th. There are over 150 films, some showcase Canadian talent and a lot more international.
Some top films include: Antiviral, which looks wildly thought provoking, and Rebelle which seems like a hard watch, but fascinatingly important. There is as well some very films on Sunday September 30th at Eau Claire Market for Alberta Spirit - Short Shorts.
You can check out the entire schedule and film synopsis at https://www.calgaryfilm.com/
The best bit for travellers is most of the films will be featured in the two downtown movie theater; either Eau Claire Market or at the Globe Theatre - 8th Ave and 5th Street.
Happy Calgarianing!
