Local musicians: adapting to change

You may have heard of Airdrie’s Kristin Grace; she and Christine Wigley won the ARTember Festival’s Springwood Studio Songwriting Contest in 2020. At the time, Grace said music was her passion and that she planned to pursue a music degree after graduation from high school.

From shawarma to sushi to curry, Airdrie doesn’t disappoint when it comes to global flavours, and no eight-hour flight required. Here’s just a sample of what our restaurant-rich community has to offer.

Inspired by a five-year-old’s question of "who looks after the animals?" after a trip to the Calgary Zoo, Airdrie Children’s Festival Society (ACFS) founder Pete Lewis felt compelled to create a community-wide event to answer this and other great questions.
