If you could leave your family, friends, and familiar surroundings behind to risk your life on a three-year, round-trip voyage to Mars, would you go? In the new Facing Mars exhibition at Liberty Science Center, you'll have the chance to answer this question.
Facing Mars isn't just about visiting another planet - it's about determining whether we have the ingenuity to solve the challenges of deep space travel. Guests can experiment with 28 hands-on and full-body experiences.

Oopfest is an "unfestival" outside the Calgary Folk Music Festival. Intended to be open, inclusive, and free to all, an "unfestival" in this sense is not organized by any central authority or steering committee, it doesn't have sponsors or funders, and it is created entirely by participants and performers doi...ng their own thing. (ie. "The Burning Man Festival.") We are contributing and expanding in an organic fashion to what is already an enjoyable festival inside so that folks and performers of all stripes have a space to celebrate and embrace community and the arts.So, please come "make your own festival" on Prince's Island, July 23rd to 25th with other folks, whether you're a performer, the audience, or anything in between.
If you know performers of any sort, please encourage them to come. If you have furnishings - whether carpet, canopies, or chesterfields, please bring them. If you have refreshments to share (selling the is only permitted according to Calgary's normal permitting process), then please bring them too. You know... like a container of water. Or a watermelon.
