Slide the City is bringing a 1000ft water slide to Calgary!

Summers are always full of messy beds and over-worn pajamas. They are full of long naps and heat waves that never fail to disappoint. Well here’s a relief: an awesome event is on its way, and it’s time to pull out our swimming trunks because Slide the City is coming to Calgary with 1000ft of soapy vinyl that is padded underneath to brighten our city streets!

There will be sick slides, dancing, and did I fail to mention that this slide is 1000ft long?! That’s right, 3 football fields. There will be live music, food, drinks, water, and the fastest and longest slide you’ve ever been on! (Even Usain Bolt will be surprised at how fast you can cover that 1000ft of land)! It would be the best bet to grab onto this opportunity, as Calgary is the only city in Alberta that will host a Slide the City event and there is a limited 3000 tickets available. What better way is there to make some awesome memories with your friends and family? Better yet, proceeds go towards charity, in Salt Lake City proceeds went towards Ronald McDonald House and the Utah Aids Foundation.

Although no official date has been made for this event, the website has Calgary listed under December 2014. You’re probably wondering who in their right mind would want to go in the winter, but the administrators are hoping to adjust Calgary’s date according to the weather so that we’re not sliding down ice instead of water. The first Slide the City event in Salt Lake City had their tickets sold out almost instantly and it was a huge success. Keep your eyes peeled guys, as this post will be updated with the official event date as well as Slide the City essentials and event day information!
