Pack a blanket, some snacks and fill up your water bottle and head out to watch the flick. Check out their Facebook page for more info.

The Polyjesters
On July 15, it may be time to try something that doesn’t involve a cowboy hat. Head down to Wine-Ohs Bistro and Cellar to watch the Polyjesters perform (a band known for playing a little bit of everything from folk to swing music). If you haven’t been to Wine-Ohs before, then take note: the music venue is located on the side door where an unassuming set of stairs will take you down to the very hip and very cool new cellar. Wine-Ohs has a great wine list and food should be sampled while taking in some great music. 403-263-1650; 811 1 Street SW; info@wine-ohs.com.

Market Collective
Calgary’s amazing Market Collective will be celebrating five years in the community starting July 19 and they have a lot to celebrate. This market will be taking place in Market Collective’s new location at the Mewata Armoury. There will be a long list of great vendors, artists and designers at the market to sell their wares. Caffe Rosso will be serving their delicious coffee, the Leaf Ninjas will be selling their organic veggies, and there will be all sorts of great local jewelry, ceramics and clothing to check out.

Bill Maher
Bill Maher comes to the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on July 20. He is a comedian, political commentator, author and television host. You probably know this funny man best from the documentary ‘Religulous’, which comments on the current state of world religion, or from his appearances on HBO’s ‘Real Time’. Mr. Maher has been making audiences laugh for over 18 years by using his dry, humorous approach to give you his two cents about religion and politics. Your sides will be sore from laughing – that’s a guarantee. Click here for tickets. Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium is located at: 1415 14th Avenue NW
