Calgary’s longest-running outdoor street festival, Marda Gras, is celebrating its 40th anniversary on Sunday, August 10th. The free family event, which started as a small street party in 1985, will transform 33rd Avenue SW in Marda Loop into a pedestrian paradise from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Attendees can enjoy live music across four stages, over 200 local vendors, a dedicated Kids’ Quarter, a popular Pet Pageant, and a free shuttle service to and from the Military Museum.
