Beltline Bonspiel

We partied hard at the 3rd annual Beltline Bonspiel Presented by Strategic Group!

The Beltline Bonspiel brings together local Calgary community teams to compete in a friendly outdoor curling tournament with the backdrop of the historic Lougheed House, live music, delicious local food and beer, and entertainment for all ages.

Since its inception as the first outdoor curling tournament in Calgary in over 100 years we've brought together Calgarians for a truly unique winter experience.

At the 2019 Beltline Bonspiel the Team Lougheed House took home the Brewery Trophy in a hard fought tournament featuring 10 teams. Despite the chilly temperatures (-18C) we kept things warm in the Bonspiel Beer Garden with firepits, free warm drinks, local brews, fresh beats on the turntables and plenty of community spirit.

See you at the next Beltline Bonspiel on February 15th, 2020!

Live Music & DJs

Warm beats and soulful sounds to keep you bouncing rinkside and inside the Lougheed House.

A Celebration of Local Craft Beer

In 1915, the Calgary Brewing and Malting Company (1892-1961) established the Brewery Trophy for curling. We honour that tradition by not only awarding the historic trophy at the Beltline Bonspiel but by celebrating local craft beer in our family-friendly rinkside beer garden featuring local Beltline breweries Inner City Brewing and Last Best Brewing & Distilling. Warm up by the fire pits and enjoy some of Calgary's finest craft beers and DJs.

Saturday, February 16th, 11am - 5pm
