FLAMES TO PARTICIPATE IN CHINATOWN STREET FESTIVAL

The Chinatown Street Festival (CSF) is returning on Saturday August 18th to Calgary Chinatown and joining the team this year are the Calgary Flames. Signing a deal to become the team's 'Gold' Title Sponsor, the Calgary Flames will move into the 1st Street SE position of the Festival and bring the fans to their feet in the 'Family Fun Zone'.
With an inflatable street hockey rink, the bench of current and alumni Flames players, 'Harvey the Hound' mascot, the Ice Team, and plenty of memorabilia for the fans, the Chinatown Street Festival promises to be a great time for Flames fans (and hockey players) of all ages. The Flames are inviting their fans to play street hockey, take photos and get autographs, and more.

Following the footsteps of 16 successful CSF events since 2001, the Chinatown District Business Improvement Area (CDBIA) is taking over the reins to bring a fresh Street Festival team to Chinatown. With a new team of strong sponsors and community partners, the Chinatown Street Festival promises to be an exciting day of fun for all Calgarians and Flames fans.
Joining the team will be 24 or more cultural tents of Chinese foods delights, merchant goods, and cultural exhibits plus on-stage performances to entertain the crowds of over 35,000 for the day.
Come join the Chinatown Street Festival on Saturday August 18 starting at 10am through till 7pm.
