The Meltdown at Sylvan Lake Spring Festival is This Month

Parents, if you’re like us - you love a good festival. They’re often stacked with free family fun, and if you’re lucky, you'll get the chance to experience something that you haven’t experienced before. This year, just ninety minutes outside of Calgary, there’s a spring festival in Albert that’s going to do just that.

The Meltdown is popping up on March 23, 2024 in Sylvan Lake. It’s an Alberta festival worth the drive, with a balloon glow event where incredible hot air balloons are lit, and tethered from the ground for you to explore. There’s HOLI colour throwing, there’s fireworks and there’s a full day of family fun that’s worth the road trip from Calgary.
