There's something about hockey season in Calgary.

The temperatures start dropping, Flames jerseys come out of the closet, and suddenly everyone's talking about the latest game.

But the 2026–27 NHL season is a little different.

This year marks the Calgary Flames' final season playing at the iconic Scotiabank Saddledome before their planned move to Scotia Place.

And for longtime Flames fans, that's a pretty big deal.

Saying Goodbye to a Calgary Landmark

The Saddledome has been part of Calgary's skyline since 1983.

It's hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics, countless hockey games, concerts, and major events! 

For many Calgarians, it's also where they watched their first NHL game, celebrated a big win, or spent an unforgettable evening with friends and family.

Whether you're a diehard Flames fan or someone who only catches a few games each season, it's hard to imagine Calgary without the Saddledome.

A Season Full of Memories

The Flames opened their season at home against the Seattle Kraken on October 1.

October has already brought several exciting matchups, but there's still more hockey ahead.

The Flames are scheduled to host Seattle again on October 30 for a special Halloween-themed game.

And, of course, there's nothing quite like the Battle of Alberta.

Calgary visits Edmonton on October 28, giving fans another opportunity to enjoy one of hockey's biggest rivalries.

More Than Just Hockey

Professional sports are an important part of what makes Calgary such a great city.

Whether it's the Flames, Wranglers, Hitmen, or our other local teams, sporting events bring people together.

They're also a great way to introduce kids to the excitement of live sports.

There's something special about watching a young fan experience their first hockey game.

The noise, the excitement, the music, and the atmosphere are memories that can last a lifetime.

Looking Ahead to Scotia Place

With the new Scotia Place development to become the Flames' home for the 2027–28 season, Calgary is preparing for a new chapter in its sports history.

The new arena will change the city's entertainment landscape, but the Saddledome will always hold a special place in Calgary's history.

Let's Enjoy This Season!

Regardless of where the Flames finish in the standings, this season is about more than wins and losses.

It's an opportunity to celebrate a building that's been part of Calgary for more than four decades.

If you haven't been to a Flames game in a while, this might be the year to make it happen and the prices will never be lower! 

Go Flames Go!

Whether you're looking for something fun to do with the kids, a spooky date night, or a genuinely terrifying haunted house, there's no shortage of Halloween activities happening around the city.

Here are a few events worth checking out as October comes to an end.

1. ZooBOO at the Calgary Zoo

October 31 – November 1, 2026

Looking for a Halloween activity that's fun without being too scary?

ZooBOO at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo is a great option for families with younger children.

Kids can dress up in their favourite costumes, enjoy Halloween-themed activities, visit treat stations, and explore the zoo.

It's a fun way to celebrate Halloween while enjoying one of Calgary's most popular family attractions.

2. Pumpkins After Dark at WinSport

Running through October 31, 2026

Imagine walking through an outdoor display filled with thousands of glowing pumpkins!

Pumpkins After Dark features elaborate carved pumpkin displays, illuminated sculptures, music, and special effects.

It's a great evening activity for families, couples, or anyone who loves Halloween.

Don't forget to dress warmly. It is Calgary in October, after all!

3. ScreamFest

October 29–31, 2026

If you're looking for something a little more intense, ScreamFest might be exactly what you're after.

Held at GMC Stadium, this popular Halloween attraction features haunted houses, carnival games, and plenty of scares.

This one's better suited to people who enjoy being frightened rather than families looking for a gentle Halloween experience.

4. Frights & Delights at The Confluence

October 30–31, 2026

The Confluence is hosting a two-day Halloween celebration with something for different age groups.

October 30 features an adults-only evening market with spooky activities.

October 31 brings a family-friendly celebration with crafts, games, trick-or-treating, and vendors.

It's a great opportunity to explore a historic part of Calgary while celebrating Halloween.

5. Halloween at Home

Sometimes the best Halloween memories happen right in your own neighbourhood.

Calgary has plenty of communities where families get into the Halloween spirit with decorated houses, creative costumes, and neighbourhood trick-or-treating.

If you're heading out with little ones, remember to bring a flashlight, dress for the weather, and watch for vehicles.

And if you're handing out candy, a well-lit walkway makes a big difference.

Enjoy Halloween, Calgary!

One of the things I love about Calgary is how much there is to do throughout the year.

From family-friendly celebrations to haunted attractions, there's something for just about everyone this Halloween.

Whatever your plans, have a safe and fun Halloween!
