A French Feast, a Hazy Brew, and a Whole Lot of Villains

Hey Canmore! Here's What's Happening This Week!

From exclusive beer dinners to the return of Canmore's quirkiest golf fundraiser, this week's got a little something for everyone. Grizzly Paw's French Beer Dinner is nearly sold out, promising an unforgettable five-course feast with beer pairings and chef stories. At Canmore Brewing, a brand-new EKG Hazy Pale has landed - fresh, crisp, and flying off the taps.

Looking ahead, the wildly fun Supervillain Golf Tournament is back this September with cocktails, costumes, and chaos on the green - all for a great cause. And we've got even more inside: wine and live music nights, a community moon swap, happy hours galore, and your weekly events list.
