Where Calgary’s Creative Community Comes Together
Design Week Calgary is a city-wide festival celebrating the talent, creativity, and impact of Calgary’s design community. Through talks, exhibitions, workshops, installations, screenings, tours, and social events, the festival invites the public to explore how design shapes the places we live, the experiences we share, and the future of our city.
Created by designers, for designers, Design Week Calgary opens the doors to creative practice and invites everyone to participate in conversations about architecture, urbanism, fashion, interiors, technology, public art, film, sound, and the built environment.
2026 Theme: In Tune
This year’s theme, In Tune, explores the rhythms of the city around us—its sounds, spaces, people, and everyday experiences.
