Kevin Allen’s Beltline Gay History Walkuncovers the rich, often overlooked queer history of Calgary’s Beltline.
This guided walk highlights key sites of activism, social spaces, and everyday life that were central to the city’s 2SLGBTQ+ community. Through storytelling and place-based history, participants gain a deeper understanding of how queer people built connection, visibility, and resilience in the heart of Calgary—including the gay history of the Lougheed House itself!
Inspired to explore Calgary through new eyes? Pick up a copy of any of the maps on display from the gift shop and prepare to get to know the city in a whole new way! Registration also includes museum admission, so feel free to explore the current exhibit, Mapping History: The Calgary Atlas Project before the walk.
