4th Street

Originally home to Calgary’s early Francophone settlement, the corridor has evolved into a bustling commercial hub with over 200 businesses. 

Stretching through the heart of Calgary’s Mission neighbourhood, 4th Street SW blends heritage character with a vibrant, contemporary pulse. This tree-lined avenue is dotted with independently owned boutiques, artisanal shops, and design-forward retail spaces. From curated fashion and home décor at Fieldstudy to fresh florals at Gardenia and niche lifestyle finds at Krickets, the district thrives on its diversity and community-focused spirit. Each storefront feels personal—crafted with care, rooted in local culture, and offering a distinct experience away from the generic big-box feel.

But 4th Street isn’t just for shoppers—it’s a culinary destination in its own right. Coffee lovers gather at Phil & Sebastian or La Boulangerie for hand-poured lattes and buttery pastries, while foodies follow their cravings to globally inspired restaurants like Shokunin (Japanese), Añejo (Mexican), and Mercato (Italian). The neighbourhood’s vibrant patios, cozy wine bars, and street-facing eateries create a welcoming social atmosphere year-round. Anchored by the annual Lilac Festival, 4th Street brings together locals and visitors alike in celebration of creativity, culture, and community in one of Calgary’s most beloved shopping and dining districts.

With its compelling mix of boutique shopping, global dining, walkable charm, and cultural vibrancy, 4th Street SW in Mission captures the essence of Calgary’s urban spirit—offering something delightfully local, stylish, and inviting for every visitor and resident.
