Thousands of Calgarians welcomed 2020 with a celebration in the core of the city.
The City of Calgary’s annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display erupted from the Calgary Tower at midnight.
The Olympic Plaza was full of people not only enjoying the fireworks, but also skating, outdoor fire pits and ice sculptures.
“I think it’s about community, it’s about family and it’s about being together — getting together and supporting little spots like this,” said Calgary resident David Forma.
