As part of the 2014 Beakerhead festival, the find it Inglewood Night Market presents El Pulpo Mecanico... a giant flaming robot octopus. Really!
Making its Canadian premiere, this two-storey, fire-breathing mechanical octopus was created by Californian artist Duane Flatmo along with his friend Jerry Kunkel who masterminded the electrical systems and flame effects. The “El Pulpo” is a combination of art and technology melded together. Built with the knowledge that it would be fun to watch, there are no hydraulics or computers used in this contraption. Come see this truly authentic interactive sculpture constructed primarily out of recycled and used junk found at the artist’s local scrap yard.… |

Thanks to a Soul of the City Neighbour Grant from Calgary Economic Development and the Calgary Foundation, our 2014 night markets have featured incredible dancers who've been getting the crowds dancing! (A big thanks to Calgary Reads for partnering with us in our application for this grant!) As a grand finale, at our September market, we turned the camera on you as we presented JUST DANCE on a giant screen (7 - 11 PM)! DJ Reggie Suave came out to spin tunes from 6 PM - midnight. Thanks to everyone who helped us transform the whole neighbourhood into an enormous dance party!
