Keep your eyes peeled for some bizarre sights around Calgary over the next five days.
Beakerhead begins Wednesday.
Director of programming Jasmine Palardy told 660 NEWS what it’s all about/
“We avoid the the term festival, because really, if you imagine it, it’s almost like the city takes on this theme of two of our core strengths: art and engineering,” Palardy explained, “So, you mash those two things together in city wide and public and private spaces all through the city.”
Watch out for things like a giant inflatable on the top of St. Patrick’s Island and a 6,400 square foot sandbox at Fort Calgary where you can play a 30 foot tall arcade game based on ‘the claw’ from Disney’s Toy Story.
“inginuity and creativity are in the water of Calgary and so that manifests in a variety of ways. So whethere that’s concerts and events, pop-up workshops and bizarre and interesting contraptions and inflatables that power over you by 35 feet tall,” Palardy added.
