Stretching from "mid-January to the end of February," 2021, Chinook Blast: Calgary’s Midwinter Roundup is a six-week-long celebration that will take over the city's downtown core, according to a release on Monday, July 27.

Over 55 different arts, sports, non-profit, neighbourhood, and tourism groups are banding together to throw a winter rager that spits in the face of cold weather.

Chinook Blast is almost six months away, so there's not a ton of details out about specific events or safety protocols just yet.

Winter doesn't have to be a season to dread — with this enormous festival in the works, you might even be counting down the days until the first snowfall.
