Have your say heard. Vote on the Marda
Loop flower and help in the urban development of your community.
Welcome to Marda Loop
Marda Loop is a unique destination shopping district at the
core of inner city living in Calgary. You will find us just east off Crowchild Trail along 33rd and 34th Avenues S.W.
Our Vibrant and Friendly community is home to over 100 wonderful shops that will satisfy any shopper, health and beauty services and a wonderful mix of
restaurants, coffee houses, bars and so much more in this unique and popular district.
The area has become one of Calgary's most popular outdoor shopping venues. Businesses
consist of small scale retailers, coffee shops, and pubs. The
BRZ hosts an annual street festival, the
Marda Gras Festival,
in early August.
The area is named after Marc and Mada Jenkins, who were the owners of the Marda Theatre (Odeon Theatre),
the name being a combination of their two names. The theatre was opened in 1953 and closed in 1988. It was demolished 1990. The BRZ's have a significant impact on Calgary's unique urban
culture through their investment in improving, beautifying and maintaining the city's business areas.
If you don't know us yet, then "Get in the Loop" and discover us for yourself.
