Come and experience Calgary skies as you have never seen them before by attending the Trico Homes International Fireworks Competition. Each night of the competition, breathtaking firework displays choreographed to music will be launched from Calgary’s stunning Elliston Park on International Avenue (17th Avenue SE), at the corner of 60th Street SE in Greater Forest Lawn. The synchronization of fireworks and music, the reflection of fireworks on Elliston Lake, and the aquatic fireworks that bounce off the water are all components that cannot be experienced unless you join us in the park.
Fireworks could be postponed due to any conditions that organizers feel may jeopardize public safety. The alternate weather day is the day following the regularly scheduled performance.
