BOXING DAY
December 26, 2021
Boxing Day (and week) will be filled with promotions and deals to be had! Keep an eye on The CORE Shopping Centre, Hudson’s Bay Downtown and Bankers Hall for upcoming deals.
But not everyone shares the same eagerness and rigour to hunt down the city’s best Boxing Day deals. If you rather conserve your energy (and mental capacity) than fight with the shopping crowds, we have five different ways you can spend Boxing Day downtown!
- The Glenbow Museum
- Skating at Olympic Plaza
- Northern Reflections Window Exhibit: #WindowMagic
- Alberta Theatre Projects: Charlotte’s Web
- The Fairmont Paliser: Boxing Day Dinner Buffet
Read our blog 5 Boxing Day activities…that aren’t shopping! for more details.
THE DUDES ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2017
December 22, 2021
X92.9 presents The Dudes Annual Christmas Special with Special Guests!
This celebration happens once a year. It’s festive, amazing and fills the holiday with joy. Family and friends ’tis the season…
The Dudes are legit. They make rock songs that come from the most closely guarded vaults of the emotional banks. They sing about the triumph of good over no good. They trumpet the march of the working class lady. They tell stories of love gained and lost, knife fights, cops and kindness. The dudes want you to see them play live. They would like you to laugh and dance. After the show, they want to give you a high five. Matt will teach you a special handshake. Bob will ask you for your phone number. They used to have a brown van that took them across canada thrice. Now its paid the price. She’s sitting along the highway at a petrocan in Winnipeg and the last they checked, the doors were still unlocked. You know, if you want to go sit in it or something. Soon they will come to your town in a blue van. Will you be there? Maybe sleep on your floor?
Date: Friday, December 22
Doors: 9 PM
