There’s something magical about Canada Day in the heart of summer – when flip-flops slap the pavement, kids’ cheeks are sticky with ice cream, and everywhere you look, people are laughing a little louder and hugging a little tighter – all dressed in red and white and eager for the much-anticipated fireworks.

And right in the middle of it all, you have The Avenidas.

More than just a plaza or “shopping centre”, it’s where Southeast Calgary comes to life – where neighbours become friends, errands turn into local adventures, and every corner holds a little something to discover, enjoy and savour.

From BBQs to Belly Laughs – It’s Canada Day!

Picture this: the BBQ’s sizzling, your best friend is grabbing icy cold fizzing drinks, and someone (probably your uncle) is already telling that same Canada Day story for the fifth year in a row. It’s tradition – and we love it.

At The Avenidas, your Canada Day essentials are all in one walkable, feel-good spot:

  • Need snacks for the backyard bash? Grab some locally made treats!
  • Looking for that perfect hostess gift? Pop into a boutique and support Canadian-made.
  • Forgot sunscreen? Don’t worry, someone here has it.
  • Want to eat out with the whole crew? Patio season is alive and well.

Come hungry, leave happy – and maybe pick up a few fun trinkets on the way!

Fun for All Ages

Canada Day is best spent with people you love – and The Avenidas makes it easy to bring everyone along. While the grown-ups relax with massages or drinks out on a patio, the kids can giggle over perfectly baked pies or paint their own clay sculptures! There’s something special about places where the whole family feels welcome. Where the vibe is relaxed, the faces are familiar, and every day feels worth enjoying!

That Classic Community Feel | 35 Years Strong

At The Avenidas, it’s not just about what you find – it’s about how it feels.

You’ll spot:

  • Smiling shopkeepers who greet you like a dear old friend.
  • A fun mix of hidden gems and your everyday go-tos.
  • Families, friends, and neighbours taking their time, iced drinks in hand, and nowhere they’d rather be.
  • A welcoming vibe that includes everyone – yes, even your four-legged family members!

For over 35 years, this has been more than just a shopping area – it’s been a place to connect, catch up, and lose track of time (in the best way). Around here, a quick visit often turns into a full-on day of memories.
