The only problem with this weekend is the lack of time to fill in all the festivals, music shows and events taking place in and around Calgary.

Today’s your last chance to check out Calgary’s International Reggae Festival.

A stellar line up of great reggae artists from across Canada and the globe play for a crowd down at Shaw Millennium Park.

The first Aviation Calgary Expo is underway at SAIT Polytechnic’s Art Smith Aero Centre exploring the latest in aviation technology until tomorrow.

The fun continues Sunday with the third annual Bow River Flow.

The family friendly event celebrates human transportation with live music, fitness activities and a kid zone along east bound Memorial Drive from 10th Street northwest to the Centre Street bridge.

If you’re in the mood for a road trip, head south of Calgary to the Taber Corn Fest where Taber goes corn wild!
