The IAACC Parking fundraiser takes place each August during GlobalFest. The parking fundraiser helps to fund arts and cultural programming initiatives within East Calgary.
IAACC has been hosting this fundraiser since GlobalFest first started. Over the years, IAACC has been able to fund mural projects, musical programs, vocal programs and artist skill enhancement programs to name a few.

NOTE:
- IAACC has moved to cashless
- Prepurchase passes does not guarantee you an exact spot, it is still first come first serve
- Prepurchase is like “will call”- Simply purchase your pass for the night you would like and exchange it for the actual pass the night of.
- The road closes at 6:00pm- vehicles will be directed to park no sooner than 6pm.
- Our volunteers do their best to accommodate our patrons and try to get everyone parked in a timely manner. However, there may be times when we are short on volunteers and the line up to park may take a little longer. We appreciate your patience.
- Recommendation: we recommend you arrive between 6:00pm – 7:30pm to ensure you receive a spot. Keep in mind to factor in: the fireworks begin at 9:30pm and walking time to get to the grounds.
