Thinking about all the memories we made this summer 🥹 ⁠

A toast to our very own bartender, Andrew Fung!🥂

Andrew recently competed in @globalfestyyc Culture in a Cocktail competition and took home the win.

We’re incredibly proud to have him behind the bar at Chairman’s, continuing to refine his craft and help shape Southern Alberta’s cocktail scene.

Four nights. 20+ cultural pavilions. Countless bites, beats, dances and fireworks.. plus at least a few very full stomachs. 🌎✨⁠
⁠
GlobalFest’s first year at Spruce Meadows was one for the books, and Calgary absolutely showed up! ⁠
⁠
To everyone who danced through the pavilions, shopped the Night Market, cheered on the Golden Fork chefs, looked up at the drones and stayed for the fireworks: thank you for bringing the energy. 🎆⁠
⁠
To the performers, vendors, volunteers, chefs, partners and crew, you made Spruce Meadows feel like the whole world had pulled up for the weekend. ❤️⁠

What a way to wrap up August. Same adventure, next year? by @globalfestyyc

The weather wasn’t perfect for the Global Finale, but the night sure was. ⁠

Four nights, countless cultures, incredible food, unforgettable performances and a sky that somehow got bigger every night. ✨

GlobalFest’s first year at Spruce Meadows was one for the books.

From the cultural pavilions and late-night bites to the music, dancing, drones and spectacular fireworks, thank you to everyone who came out and filled the grounds with so much energy.

And to the performers, vendors, volunteers, chefs and teams who brought it all to life, thank you for making Spruce Meadows feel like the whole world came to visit. 🌎❤️

What a way to end August. by @globalfestyyc

GlobalFest was such a great reminder of how many cultures, stories, and traditions come together right here in Calgary. 🌎🤍

Also… the drone proposal?! 💍😭 Definitely a core memory from the night.

Thank you @globalfestyyc for having us!
