Every month, Avenue’s A-List program opens the door for members to experience the city’s best events with an exciting twist. A-List offers exclusive access to shows, dinners, sporting events and more across Calgary, and members can enjoy it all with added VIP treatment.
A-List takes your favourite city experiences and adds a layer of excitement — think secret dinners where you meet renowned chefs, backstage tours of beloved plays and top-tier access to sports.
Here’s a look at some of the June events A-Listers can enjoy.
Equine Assisted Leadership Training
On June 5, A-Listers will have the opportunity to hone their leadership skills in a unique way: guiding a 1,200-pound horse through a series of exercises. The experience focuses on mindfulness, active listening skills and effective communication techniques. You’ll practice leadership skills as you guide your horse through an hour and a half of challenges, followed by a debrief to identify key insights, powerful moments and how to transfer these skills into your day-to-day life as a newly improved leader.
Mixology and Musical
Name a better way to experience Legally Blonde the musical than with the show’s signature cocktail in hand — we’ll wait. On June 5, A-Listers will really get a taste for the show as they sip a hand-crafted Elle Woods cocktail from their premium seats. Enjoy a pre-show mixology class where you’ll learn to make the cocktail, an intermission snack box, great music and comedic entertainment.
Cavalry FC
Calgary Cavalry plays two home games in June, meaning A-Listers can double down on VIP fun with Calgary’s professional men’s soccer team. On June 8, Cavalry FC faces off against York United; on June 21, the team plays Pacific FC. As an A-List member, you’ll get to enjoy all of the Carscallen Officers Club perks — something only available to Cavalry FC Officers Club members, and now A-Listers, too. Enjoy the hot buffet menu, premium seats, VIP parking and the opportunity to meet the team’s head coach and general manager post-match.
Lulu Bar’s Visa Infinite Dining Series
On June 9, A-Listers and their plus ones will enjoy a flavour-forward prix fixe menu at Lulu Bar. Your dining experience includes a welcome drink, amuse bouche and four-course meal where you’ll taste all of Lulu Bar’s beloved Southeast Asian and Polynesian flavours. Sit back, relax and let yourself be transported to a faraway island — with A-List, everything is taken care of; no need to rush out or even ask for a bill.
YMCA Charity Golf Tournament
Swing for a cause at this year’s YMCA Charity Golf Tournament and enjoy premium perks on the green. Golf like a pro on June 9 — your registration includes a barbecue lunch and hors d’oeuvres, bottled water, a welcome drink, green fees for two, a power cart and a sleeve of golf balls each. It’s a guaranteed good time while simultaneously supporting Camp Chief Hector.
Indáy Dinner at FinePrint
On June 11, the culinary team at FinePrint will collaborate with talented Filipino-Canadian chefs across the country to bring Calgarians a modern Filipino-inspired feast. A-List tickets include a table for two, where you’ll indulge in mouthwatering dishes and experience Philippine cuisine like never before. Enjoy masterfully crafted canapés, a multi-course meal and cocktail and wine pairings.
Rosé and Croquet Garden Party
Get dressed in your finest garden party attire and head over to Deane House on June 19 for the annual Rosé and Croquet event in support of YW Calgary. A-List tickets get you entrance to one of the city’s most glamorous charity parties, where you’ll sip on the finest rosé, Champagne and wine, and indulge in seafood platters, an oyster bar and other high-end bites — all in the name of supporting Calgary women.
Exclusive experiences at HR
Below the FinePrint restaurant sits the private owner’s lounge, HR, which only select people — including A-Listers — can access. In June, certain members will take part in the already sold-out Taste Lab experience, where they’ll step into the space for an intimate behind-the-scenes culinary experience. A-List events sell out fast due to their exclusivity, but top-tier members get notified early for limited upcoming events to get first dibs.
There are still two HR events available in June. The lounge is hosting an intimate Solstice Beats party on the 20th, and A-List members are invited to join an evening of disco, glowing lights and nonstop dancing in the private space. If you’re looking to slow things down and make meaningful connections with strangers, take part in the HR Drinks With Strangers event, where you’ll get two tickets included with your invitation, but they can only be used on a stranger you have yet to meet.
