Who We aRE
The Calgary Nativity is a community gift. Thanks to volunteers from the Calgary interfaith community, this production is possible, and it is our Christmas gift to you. Our latest production will operate from Friday, December 19, to Sunday, December 21, 2025. Over the three days, thousands of people join us to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
There will be five outdoor performances every evening, starting at 6:00 pm, with the final performance concluding at 8:20 pm. The final performance will take place at 8:00 pm. The start times are 6:00 pm, 6:30 pm, 7:00 pm, 7:30 pm, & 8:00 pm.
Please dress for the weather, as the performance will be held outdoors. Admission is free. No ticket is required.
The performance will take place outdoors at the Bow Valley Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 2526 24th Ave NW, Calgary, Alberta.
Free parking was at the University of Calgary parking lot L32.
We hope that you will join us for the 2025 production.
This site will be updated in the late Fall of 2025 with more information on how to volunteer at the Calgary Nativity.
