Folk Fest is an outdoor event, and MEC is a one-stop shop for outdoor gear for the whole family. Given Calgary’s unpredictable weather, it’s best to be prepared for variable conditions with clothing layers that may include pants, short- and long-sleeve shirts, sweaters and rain gear. While its fashion focus is clothing fit for wilderness pursuits, MEC also offers casual city wear including skirts, dresses, sunhats and comfortable footwear.
Do your summers involve running, biking, hiking, climbing, camping, doing yoga, travelling or boating? Outfit yourself for any and all of these activities at MEC in Beltline. The two-level outdoor department store carries an impressive selection of gear and clothing for men, women and children. Technicians will also repair your bike, and ask about renting canoes and or other equipment. A MEC membership card entitles the holder to all kinds of perks.
The go-to store for outdoor enthusiasts, Mountain Equipment Co-op is tailor made for the adventurous gift recipient. This outdoor gear shop carries clothing and equipment to suit dads who are into climbing, camping, cycling, running or yoga and much more. What outdoorsy dad wouldn’t enjoy receiving a new tent or camp stove, with an invite to go camping with his kid?
