Dive into a world of pop culture and fandom at Calgary Expo
Join CBC at the Calgary Expo on April 25
Every year, the Calgary Expo takes us out of this world—and CBC is excited to once again be part of the excitement. To kick it all off, we'll be hosting the Fan Zone at the POW! Parade of Wonders, where enthusiasts and fans unite in a vibrant display of creativity and passion.
POW! PARADE OF WONDERS
Friday, April 25, 2025
Parade start: 10:30 a.m.
Opening ceremony start: 11:15 a.m.
For the first time, the POW! Parade of Wonders will be parading right to the steps of Calgary Expo. The parade will launch in Victoria Park's Haultain Park and the Fan Zone, hosted by CBC's Anis Heydari and Jenny Howe, will be the centre of the action during parade day. Located along 13th Avenue at First Street SW, the Fan Zone hosts live interactions with special guests in the parade as they pass through, and shares amazing prizes and merch with fans.
The POW! Parade of Wonders is free to attend! Hope to see you there.
