With sunny skies in the forecast for this Father's Day weekend in Calgary—and fingers crossed that wildfire smoke stays away—there's no better time to treat Dad to a memorable patio experience. Concorde Entertainment Group has released its 2025 Patio Guide, featuring 14 sun-drenched patios across the city that are perfect for celebrating the special father figure in your life. The comprehensive guide includes everything you need to plan the perfect patio outing, from sun and shade details to heating information for those cooler evening moments, plus daily specials and menu recommendations that will make Dad's day extra special.

This year's patio offerings have something for every dad's taste. Whether he's a cocktail enthusiast who'd enjoy sharing new pitcher creations at Barbarella Bar downtown, a burger lover who'd appreciate Clive Burger's thick custard shakes with rotating monthly flavours, or someone seeking something more adventurous like the refreshing Cold Udon at Lonely Mouth, Calgary's patio scene has him covered. Lulu Bar on 17th Avenue is also rolling out an exciting new menu and cocktail lineup that's perfect for a Father's Day celebration.

"Patio season means a lot to Calgarians and our out-of-town visitors, and we're all about helping people soak it up," explained Brittany Thompson, operations director at Concorde Entertainment Group. With the city's extended patio program creating even more lively outdoor spaces, from downtown hotspots to the vibrant 17th Avenue strip, this Father's Day weekend offers the ideal opportunity to kick back, enjoy the sunshine, and show Dad just how much he means to you.
