SOUTHLAND Marks 11 Years Partnering with GlobalFest

GlobalFest YYC is celebrating its 20th?Anniversary this year, and SOUTHLAND is proud to mark 11 years as the Cultural and Fireworks Festival’s transportation partner.

With traffic and road closures around Elliston Park during the festival days, SOUTHLAND provides between 30 and 40 buses to shuttle festivalgoers to and from the GlobalFest site. Our drivers can be found ferrying people from Marlborough Mall, and the VIP parking area at the Co-op/Mark’s location. Our safety teams are also on site to ensure that everything runs like clockwork.

Tracey Shea, SOUTHLAND’s Operations Manager, gave her drivers a big shout out for always getting GlobalFest patrons to the festival and back without a hitch.

“Kudos to the safe driving and positive attitude of all of our drivers. We’d never be able to pull this off year after year without them.”

GlobalFest is an annual celebration of Calgary’s multi-cultural communities, featuring pavilions, performances, international food, children’s programming and fireworks. Illuminating the sky with an orchestra of light and sound, this year’s event runs from August 18-27 and showcases presentations produced by world-class pyro musical artists hailing from India, Austria, France, and Germany, plus a Canadian-produced finale.
