GLOBAL FEST - Calgary's Cultural & Fireworks Festival
2024 - August 15 - August 24
GlobalFest @ Elliston is an annual celebration of Calgary’s multi-cultural communities, featuring pavilions, performances, international food, children’s programming and fireworks. Illuminating the sky with a colliding orchestra of light and sound, this year’s celebration event will showcase presentations produced by world-class pyro musical artists hailing from Spain, Brazil, Mexico and USA, plus a Canadian-produced finale.
What We Do...
Every year since 2025, our (the TCCA of Calgary) tent at Global Fest has been the centre for sharing Turkish culture with the people of Calgary. Our very popular exhibit contains free tourism bureau information for Turkiye, Ebru Art, coffee, tea and souvenirs from Turkiye for purchase.
Ebru Art - Marbeling
Come by to see our Maestra, Medina Ardic to learn the beautiful art of Ebru - the traditional Turkish art of creating colourful patterns by sprinkling and brushing colour pigments onto a pan of oily water, then transferring the patterns to paper.
