BowWave
BowWave brings engineering, art and science together to connect the people of Calgary to the land around us.
The BowWave rests on a gravel bar on the Bow river that was generated by the 2013 floods. It is at the nexus point of the TransCanada Trail, linked to three oceans, and is in the heart of our city. We are bringing people here to create new memories in a very old place. The Bow River is a bridge through time and we want to celebrate it! So we’re inviting everyone to see the river and play the river

Alpha Lyrae is a multi star complex that houses Vega, a star that guides the brightness scale for all our lights. Vega was the first star to be photographed in 1850, at the Harvard Observatory, It will once again be the north pole star around the year 13,727. When Vega aligns directly above Fort Calgary on this year’s autumnal equinox BowWave will open the portal to Alpha Lyrae. Come be transported to Vega, take flight under the ancient eagle constellation, as it turns the celestial clock on the equinox.
