Performances start at 3:20 p.m., with Roberts taking the stage at 9:45 p.m. The Confluence will also be home to a powwow, food vendors and an Indigenous artisans market. St. Patrick's Island There will be three stages set up on St. Patrick's Island to showcase live music. In addition, attendees can get airbrush tattoos or have their face painted. There's a playground and spots to have a picnic, plus there will be food vendors. Municipal Building Calgary's downtown Municipal Building will be home to a spotlight on cultural clothing, giving attendees a chance to try them on and capture the moment in a photo booth. Fireworks Calgary's Canada Day celebrations will wrap up with a fireworks display launched from Stampede Park at 11 p.m. The city says the best viewing will be from the Confluence, or anywhere where you can typically see Stampede fireworks. Onsite viewing at Stampede will not be available. For a complete schedule of Canada Day events, you can visit the City of Calgary's website.

'Festivals and events are key to a vibrant downtown,' added Mark Garner, executive director of the Calgary Downtown Association. 'More people in the area will lead to increased economic activity for businesses.' More information on Calgary's summer festival season is available online.
