Calgary: The 17th annual Chinatown Street Festival took place on August 18, 2018, in Chinatown on 3 Ave SE and 1st Street SE. It is the annual premier festival in Calgary Chinatown, a family oriented event with multicultural music and dance. This year, the festival added a new activity as part of the family fun zone activities, the Calgary Flames also took part. It represented the upcoming China games.
It is an event that the Chinese communities take pride in, a snapshot of cultural heritage of China in full display. The festival is a way for the community in Chinatown  – more or less a coalition of communities – to display their rich culture through food, music and much more.
