Things to do in Calgary on Mother’s Day

Sunday is Mother’s Day, and Mother Nature is cooperating with Calgary, as warm weather and sunshine are in the forecast allowing various activities to take place.

You can take your mother outside to a nearby park and enjoy the good weather.

If you fancy a little retail therapy with your mom, you can find more than 75 vendors, food trucks, and kid friendly activities at the Marda Loop Communities Association’s Mother’s Day extravaganza Sunday from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m.

“Authentically Indigenous” is holding a Mother’s Day craft market called “Honouring the Matriarchs.”

You’ll find unique Indigenous artists from the Treaty 7 area of southern Alberta with handmade crafts, art, and jewelry.

The craft market is open Sunday and Monday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Kerby Centre Gymnasium at 11133 Avenue SW.

Meanwhile, the community of Inglewood took to Twitter to invite Calgarians to check the community’s local businesses.
