East Village is situated within the city’s River District in the eastern part of the city’s downtown core. This land is home to Fort Calgary, the earliest-settled land in the area. Today East Village is a growing urban neighborhood that is lively and robust with top-quality shops, restaurants and community outdoor spaces and places. It is also home to some of Calgary’s top attractions such as the New Central Library, Studio Bell, The National Music Centre, and the East Village Reconciliation Bridge.
