New Years Eve fireworks in Calgary: when and where to watch [Video]

The City of Calgary is hosting a New Years Eve celebration featuring fireworks, a skating/dance party and food trucks.

The family-friendly festivities start at 8 p.m. on Dec. 31 at Prince’s Island Park and Calgary Parking Authority Lot 59, located across the Bow River Pathway from Prince’s Island at 200-286 Memorial Dr. N.W.

Food trucks will be up and running and there will be fire pits to keep you warm and activities to keep everyone entertained – like inflatable curling.

There will, however, be event parking on the south side of Memorial Drive (eastbound) from 10 Street to 4A Street N.W. from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
