Stephen Avenue
Stephen Avenue Walk
A pedestrian street on 8th Avenue downtown, with restaurants, bars and shops in 19th-century sandstone heritage buildings. It is a National Historic District.
Stephen Avenue is one of Calgary's earliest commercial streets. Its sandstone buildings from the 1880s to the 1910s are well preserved, and the street is designated a National Historic District. During the day it is a lunch spot for office workers. In summer, restaurant terraces spill out along the street, and buskers sometimes perform. To the west is the Core shopping centre, home to Devonian Gardens. To the east are Olympic Plaza and City Hall. The street is pedestrian-only during the day.
