See these Calgary music venues

If you're in Calgary only for the weekend then you definitely don't have much time to lose. Get in as much of Calgary's famed nightlife as possible before you have to leave.

You might have seen all the regular tourist attractions which Calgary has to offer but you haven't seen anything 'til you've done the rounds of a few pub crawls Calgary nightclubs and taken in at least one stage production.

With so many fascinating entertainment avenues open to you in Calgary music venues might be the last thing on your mind. You might instead want to take a night off from the round of pubs and look into theatre productions instead.
