Velvet Midway: A Winter Carnival Gala

Step into an evening of vintage spectacle, winter magic, and immersive entertainment.

Welcome to Velvet Midway, Calgary’s newest adults-only winter gala — a dazzling blend of classic carnival elegance and cirque-style wonder. For one unforgettable night, the ARC is transformed into a shimmering blue-and-white midway draped in soft lights, flowing fabrics, and glimmering winter details.

Guests will wander through a curated world of live performance, roaming characters, music, and specialty moments designed to surprise and delight. Enjoy handcrafted cocktails, elegant décor, and luxe lounge spaces as performers move through the room with breathtaking skill. A champagne greeter will welcome you as you arrive, setting the tone for a night of playful indulgence and refined spectacle.

This is winter carnival reimagined: elevated, immersive, and full of magic.
