Calgary’s Best was a 10-day social media campaign we put on, to quiz Calgarians on their favourite places and businesses in the city. We will now be running 10 days of blog posts, based on the results of this quiz, to give you some reviews of some of the best venues in Calgary, from our friends/followers themselves!

Kensington, Calgary’s ‘Village in the City’, invites you to participate in the Salsa Tasting Contest. Kensington businesses will serve up over 500 gallons of 40 different salsas. You get to be the judge, and taste test your way through all the spicy salsa recipes served up by teams of Kensington businesses.” — Read more at www.visitkensington.com.
