Midway returns for a third year, transforming the Centre Court of the EPCOR CENTRE into a high-flying carnival! Embrace the glorious insanity of a fairground gone mad with some of Calgary’s most eccentric emerging artists. Amidst the madness, you’ll meet sideshow vaudevillians, shadow puppets, laptop virtuosos, Wandering Gypsies and the Cutest Kitten Ever, along with an eclectic array of indie musicians on The Hutch stage.
