Coming from Saint John, which really has no culture, Calgary was a huge step up for me.
The Folk Music Festival is fantastic, and Calgary is large enough to attract most big-name artists for arena concerts (U2, for example). At the same time, smaller, niche bands that don't have the following to play a show in a small town also do concerts here (mainly playing at McEwan).
ACAD is pretty highly regarded as an art institution, is it not?
