For a long time 17th Avenue has been a stretch of road that brings people together. Whether you're shopping, going to your favourite restaurant or grabbing a pint on a patio, 17th Ave is where you want to be.
So, while 17th Avenue is under reconstruction, the City of Calgary – Your Local Government in partnership with the 17th Ave SW, the Beltline Neighbourhoods Association and the businesses of the 400 block of 17th Ave are throwing an alley party! We'll be transforming the alley into a vibrant, magnetic and intriguing destination where you can sit on a patio, do some shopping, do yoga, watch an outdoor movie, grab a bite to eat and see local art!
