JAMMY CON K-pop festival at WinSport with P1Harmony
JAMMY CON returns October 31–November 1, 2026 at WinSport Event Centre with P1Harmony live, vendor halls, Random Play Dance, cosplay, and all-ages festival programming presented with Kawaii Alley.
Ticketed event
JAMMY CON 2026 takes over WinSport Event Centre on Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1 for a two-day K-pop festival and concert weekend. Organizers bill it as Canada’s leading K-pop festival for the year, with P1Harmony as the featured Korean act anchoring the main-stage concert programming. The venue address is 88 Canada Olympic Road SW in southwest Calgary.
Saturday is the denser concert-plus-festival day: vendor market and artist alley, Random Play Dance and cover-dance programming, then opening ceremony, finalist performances, awards, and P1Harmony concert blocks in the Event Centre. Sunday keeps the festival running with vendors, workshops, fan-club meet-ups, sing-alongs, trivia, photocard trading, and cosplay moments across Arena B and the Legacy Room. Passes split between a full Ultimate weekend path that includes reserved concert seating and festival-only day passes for people who want the market and dance floor without the concert ticket.
Who it is for: K-pop fans across Alberta and the Prairies, cover dancers chasing a stage, cosplayers, photocard traders, and families who want an indoor all-ages weekend instead of a club night. Free on-site parking is listed for guests. The whole program runs indoors, which matters for a Halloween weekend in Calgary. Check bag and conduct policies on jammycon.ca before you pack lightsticks and cameras.
WinSport sits west of downtown near Canada Olympic Park. Build drive time from the northeast or airport hotels if you are stacking the same weekend with GMofC Navratri downtown on Friday and Saturday nights. Halloween Saturday will be loud in the city; an indoor festival with clear pass types is the calmer plan if you already know your bias and your friend group’s schedule.
The weekend is more than a single concert drop. Organizers lean on Random Play Dance, vendor culture, cover-dance finals, and fan meet-ups so local scenes get a public room even if you are not in the P1Harmony pit. For Prairies fans, that means less waiting on a Vancouver arena detour when a dedicated festival weekend lands at WinSport with a Korean guest act attached.
Presented with Kawaii Alley, the weekend also courts vendors, fan clubs, volunteers, and sponsors, which is how a Prairies K-pop con stays dense without a giant arena tour routing through town. Cover-dance finalists and Random Play Dance crowds tend to set the daytime energy even before the concert doors.
Our take: buy the Ultimate pass if P1Harmony is the reason you are in town. Take a festival day pass if you mainly want vendors, RPD, and cosplay. Either way, treat Halloween Saturday as a full day, not a quick drop-in. Confirm pass maps and fansign application notes on the official site as October gets closer.
When: October 31–November 1, 2026
Where: WinSport Event Centre, 88 Canada Olympic Road SW, Calgary, AB T3B 5R5
