Up coming event in Calgary

 In this post, I’m excited to share a unique cultural event happening in Calgary: the Mid-Autumn Star singing contest, presented by National Music Centre (NMC) and Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre! Mark your calendars for September 21st (Sat.) and 22nd (Sun.) and head over to NMC for a weekend of incredible vocal talent and cultural celebration.

Last year, I attended a similar event, and it was a truly fantastic experience! The Mid-Autumn Festival is a significant celebration in Chinese and other Asian communities, symbolizing the full moon harvest, unity, and gathering with loved ones. This year’s festival at NMC will embrace that spirit while bridging traditional Chinese culture with mainstream Canadian culture, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for all attendees. 

The highlight of the weekend is the Mid-Autumn Star contest, where singers from across Alberta will compete for the grand prize in the festival's finale. On Sunday, September 22, the top 10 finalists will perform live in the evening, showcasing their talent onstage. You can expect an unforgettable night as the performers receive live feedback from a panel of established musicians, and the top three will be awarded trophies, with the winner earning a full day recording session at NMC’s world-class recording studio.

But the festival isn't just about the contest! The three-day event will also feature various performances and activities that highlight the rich cultural heritage of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the vibrant Chinese and Asian traditions while enjoying Alberta's finest musical talent.

National Music Centre has done an incredible job creating a space for cultural events like this. Not only does NMC provide a venue with top-notch sound systems and a welcoming atmosphere, but they also bridge the gap between different cultures, making events like the Mid-Autumn Festival a truly inclusive celebration.

These Calgary events offer great opportunities to explore new cultures, meet new people, and enjoy a fun day out with family and friends. Be sure to check it out!
