Watch the 10th annual POW! Parade of Wonders to kick off Calgary Expo weekend
CBC
The Parade of Wonders — or POW! — is Canada's largest pop culture parade. And Calgary gets to host it.
Every year, the parade is a celebration that marks the start of the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo weekend. This year, the parade celebrates a decade of dazzling spectators who flood the streets near Stephen Avenue to watch cosplayers and celebrity guests pass by.
The convention draws thousands of fans annually, all there to bask in the comic book, sci-fi, fantasy, anime and video game greatness on display at Stampede Park.
What's more, CBC Calgary hosts will be on the scene capturing all the excitement as it happens.
Anis Heydari of the CBC podcast, This is Calgary, along with the Calgary Eyeopener's Angela Knight, will be chatting with the people driving, walking and dancing down toward Olympic Plaza.
Viewers can also watch livestreamed coverage on the new CBC Alberta YouTube channel starting at 10:30 a.m.
