Avenue’s A-List membership is dishing up new and exciting events in May.
A-List membership serves as your pass to the city’s most popular events with an exclusive twist. A-List gets you VIP access to a unique “wow” factor — think meet and greets, backstage tours, private parties and more.
It’s as simple as signing up to be a member, choosing your tier and using your A-Dollars for your preferred experiences. A-List has partnered with top-tier companies, restaurants and organizations to bring you the best of the city, and May is proving to be a month full of exciting events.
Beer Fest
Taste the best of breweries and distilleries from Western Canada and beyond at the Calgary International Beer Festival. A-Listers can choose between Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3 — or if you’re a true beer enthusiast, you can attend back-to-back days — and discover over 700 craft beverages and small bites from Calgary’s best eateries. As an A-Lister, you’ll get the royal treatment with access to the VIP lounge, private washrooms and a separate entrance to skip the lines. Tickets come with $40 in sampling tokens and entrance to the after-parties that feature artists like Grammy-winner Imanbek and EDM sensation Sam Feldt.
Terroir Signature dinner at River Café
For one night only, River Café welcomes a star-studded chef line-up for a once-in-a-lifetime tasting experience on May 4. Chef Ned Bell and Chef Amanda Cohen will join River Café’s Chef Kristen Livingston to explore Canada’s finest ingredients for exceptional plant-based and seafood dishes while shining a spotlight on the future of sustainability in the culinary world. The bill and tip are already covered — all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the five-course dinner and wine pairings. You’ll be welcomed with a cocktail and canapes and leave with a new take on eco-conscious cooking and a copy of Chef Ned Bell’s Cookbook, LURE: Sustainable Seafood Recipes from the West Coast.
Lunch on 27
Throughout May, A-Listers can sneak away for a business lunch or a high-end midday treat to the 27th floor of The Dorian Hotel. Lunch on 27 delivers exceptional views and an even more impressive lunch menu. Enjoy an entree and choice of starter or dessert at The Wilde on 27 any weekday this month. Lunch on 27 serves hearty soups, fresh salads and more. Tax and gratuity are included so you can indulge in exceptional cuisine before heading to your next appointment without waiting on the bill.
Cavalry FC
Cavalry FC, Calgary’s professional soccer team, has two home games this month, which means A-Listers get twice the opportunities to enjoy the match in luxury style. Cavalry FC will play Pacific FC on Saturday, May 17, and Valour FC on Sunday, May 25, and A-List members can enjoy the games from a prime indoor or outdoor seating selection. A-List tickets also get you access to the Carscallen Officers Club and everything that comes with it — an experience that’s usually only available to Cavalry FC Officers Club members, and now A-Listers, too. Enjoy the hot buffet menu (alcoholic drinks are available at an additional cost) and attend the post-match press conference to connect with big names in the league.
Staycation VIP package at The Dorian
Enjoy a luxury getaway without leaving the city. A-Listers can take a VIP holiday any Friday or Saturday throughout the month of May with this staycation package. The exclusive package includes a one-night stay at The Dorian Hotel, $125 credit to its fabulous restaurant, The Wilde on 27, complimentary breakfast, valet parking and a special welcome amenity.
Legally Blonde
A limited number of A-Listers are set to attend Legally Blonde’s opening night at the Max Bell Theatre after a delicious three-course meal and wine at Teatro. A-List events are exclusive, even within members, and sell out quickly. To ensure you get the earliest access to upcoming events, opt for the highest tier of membership, and you’ll get first dibs on hot ticket items like the Legally Blonde mixology class and show next month.
You’re sure to feel pretty in pink at our Mixology and a Musical event celebrating all things Legally Blonde. On June 5, A-Listers will learn about Legally Blonde’s signature cocktail and how to make it during a mixology class before the show. You’ll get to sip on the beverage while watching the musical from premium balcony seats and even get an intermission snack box for when you get hungry.
