Best time to visit Calgary

The best times to visit Calgary when you’re worried about saving on hotel room rates and skipping the crowds are the spring (April – May) and autumn seasons (September – October). During the spring, accommodation costs are nearly at their lowest, the skiers are gone and the summer tourists are only due in June. The temperature warms up during this time, and you may encounter muddy parks and trails due to melting snow. For the autumn, which offers similar advantages to the spring, make sure to pack some warmer clothing for when the weather cools. During the spring, enjoy the Salut Calgary Wine & Food Festival in April, and in the autumn, treat yourself to the Calgary International Film Festival, which runs from September to October.
