Fall is here, and with it comes more fine events in Calgary. Explore them with Avenue’s A-List, which offers members an elevated experience at all the best events in town. A-Listers enjoy all the perks that turn an ordinary evening out into an unforgettable night with VIP treatment.
An A-List membership grants you access to exclusive events, from best-in-house seats to behind-the-scenes secrets. Your bill and tip are covered, and you don’t have to stress about parking thanks to valet service and VIP parking.
October offers new experiences for A-Listers, from sports to theatre to a luxe auction and cocktail party.
Save big on the racetrack
Thrill-seeking A-Listers are in for a treat this month with the Introductory Half-Track Experience on October 2. Get behind the wheel of a Mustang to try your hand at performance driving, guided by expert instructors from Rocky Mountain Motorsports. The day kicks off with a quick classroom session covering safety and track tips, then you get in the driver’s seat where you’ll get hands-on experience and gain confidence on the track. This experience regularly costs $1,475, but A-Listers can experience the thrills for just 499 A-Dollars.
Enjoy a party with a purse auction
Raise a glass with your fellow A-Listers at the Purses and Prosecco fundraising and cocktail party, which raises money for the non-profit Made by Mamma. This grassroots organization raises money for mothers and families facing hardship to help them meet their needs. On October 2, place bids on a curated collection of both new and vintage handbags, all while enjoying a fine selection of cocktails, mocktails and small bites. The evening also features live music, raffles, showcases of local boutiques and a photo booth for you to capture the moment.
Share a delightful evening over a four-course dinner
Every Thursday and Sunday in October, A-Listers have the opportunity to visit the historic Fairmont Palliser for a four-course dinner in the Hawthorn Dining Room and Bar. Each course comes with a carefully selected wine pairing, from the amuse bouche duck confit rillette to the tantalizing dark chocolate mousse that ends the meal. Tickets for this dinner are for two people and cover your wine pairings, tax and gratuity.
Learn mixology with a musical
On October 14, your A-List membership links you up with a mixologist who will demonstrate the steps to create the signature cocktail of Theatre Calgary’s evening’s production, Little Shop of Horrors. Get the story behind the themed creation before the show and take it with you to your premium first-balcony seating. At intermission, you’re invited to craft your own snack box to keep your energy up to enjoy the second half of this cult classic musical.
Get the best view at a Calgary soccer match
Sit pretty in the Carscallen Officers Club at Spruce Meadows while Calgary’s professional men’s soccer team, Cavalry FC, faces off against Pacific FC on October 17. A-Listers get a view straight over the pitch with indoor and heated outdoor seating, along with a hot buffet, complimentary mocktails and alcoholic drinks available for purchase. After the match, take your chance to sit in on a press conference, meet the players and Cavalry’s head coach and GM Tommy Wheeldon Jr. No need to arrive early to search for parking, since VIP parking is included.
Network with Calgary’s finest at an exclusive party
Celebrate Avenue magazine’s Top 40 Under 40 Class of 2026 with a mixer exclusive to A-Listers on October 30. Tickets to this event are only available to members, offering you the opportunity to get to know these exceptional Calgarians, other A-Listers and event sponsors. Throughout the evening, indulge in sparkling wine, light snacks and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages as you applaud the Class of 2026.
Spots for exclusive A-List events are limited and often sell out quickly. Browse the A-List membership tiers to choose the best fit for you. Members in the 1,000 tier see events 48 hours before general members, offering the first chance to book, and members in the 500 tier get access 24 hours in advance.
