indiYEAH! Fest is Saturday, August 15, 2026, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at CPA Lot 6, 311 8 Street SW. Free. Anyone in town can come.
They list 19 organizations, 7 food trucks, and 10 artisan stalls. Dance, music, and a photo booth. Five hours is enough for lunch and one set, then you can leave without missing anything.
Street parking and paid lots a few blocks out are the move. The lot itself will be the festival. CTrain to 8 Street SW or City Hall. Bring cash for the trucks and a little sunscreen. A downtown parking lot in August has almost no shade once the tents fill.
After 4, Chinatown Street Festival and Dragon City Market are still going east of downtown if you want a second stop. Do this one first. It closes earlier. Chinatown is a CTrain hop or a longer walk across the river.
When: August 15, 2026, 11 a.m.–4 p.m.
Where: CPA Lot 6, 311 8 Street SW, Calgary, AB
