There is so much to enjoy in and around Calgary as the seasons change. From local events to simple fall traditions, here are a few ideas to add to your calendar:

• Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival: Returning to Spruce Meadows September 18–19, with local bites and a wide selection of wines, spirits and beverages to discover.
  
• Calgary Culture Days: Throughout September, venues across the city are hosting arts, culture and community experiences, many of which are complimentary.
  
• Heritage Inn International Balloon Festival: From September 23–27, the skies over High River will fill with hot-air balloons, with the Balloon Glow offering an especially memorable evening for families.
  
• A fall afternoon closer to home: Pick up a favourite coffee and enjoy the changing colours along Calgary’s pathway system or take a short drive toward Bragg Creek and Kananaskis.
