This event has ended
BAPS Calgary marks Janmashtami, Krishna's birthday, on Sunday, September 6, 2026 at 4 p.m. at the mandir, 292200 Wagon Wheel Boulevard in Rocky View County, just north of the city.
The listing is short: prayers, cultural performances, and the usual festival evening. Treat it as a temple visit. Dress modestly. Shoulders and knees covered. Shoes come off inside. The lot is on the mandir grounds, so you are not hunting street parking in Beltline.
Give yourself time on Stoney Trail. Wagon Wheel is a drive, and the last stretch is rural. Arrive a little early if you want a seat for sabha. Check the BAPS Calgary page that week in case they add a registration note. Families are welcome. Keep phones down once you are inside the mandir.
This is the Hindu calendar date on the Calgary map the same weekend as Fiesta Filipino downtown. Different rooms, same Sunday if you are stacking.
When: September 6, 2026, 4 p.m.
Where: BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, 292200 Wagon Wheel Blvd, Rocky View County, AB
