Located in the heart of the city and in one of Calgary's oldest communities, Uptown 17th Avenue  - the Pulse of Calgary - is a neighbourhood where people come to live, work, dine, shop and to explore one of Canada’s most thriving cosmopolitan areas. With its unique blend of state-of-the- art and fashionable shops, tantalizing eateries and entertainment venues, professional services and historic buildings, the Avenue embodies both the charm of old era small town and all the conveniences of an ‘of the moment’, vibrant city.

There are over 200 locally-owned and operated boutiques located from 14th to 2nd Street, where you’ll find a warm and personal atmosphere and a world of chic clothing, accessories and designer jewellery to add sophistication and pizzazz to your wardrobe. Enjoy our world class art galleries, restaurants, luxurious spas and salons, and take in the wide array of book, flower, music, sporting goods and specialty shops. Share a leisurely stroll along our tree-lined, pedestrian friendly walkways and enjoy the old fashioned pleasure of window shopping. Or perhaps you'd prefer to sit in Tomkins Park amid 90 year old trees and enjoy a warm summer afternoon of music featured on Saturdays in the Gazebo. 

If you're here to get some business done, we've got another 200 businesses that that are ready to service all of your professional and consulting needs.
