Once again, the Stampede Grounds will resound with the sounds of bodies hitting canvas. The WWE pulls into town with the likes of Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Sasha Banks and Charlotte in tow. It’ll be just like old times.

Tickets ($20 – $105) are available at TicketMaster.

Peter and the Wolf; Sunday, Oct. 16, 3 p.m. At Jubilee Auditorium

There will be a new face and a more familiar one at this performance of Profiev’s classic. The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra will be under the baton of Karl Hirzer, the new resident conductor. The narrator of the tale is Mayor Nenshi.

Profiev’s piece, with different instruments representing different characters, serves to introduce kids to the orchestra as well as the concept of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Those wanting a more personal introduction should arrive at 2 p.m. for the Instrument Discovery Zone and a chance to meet some of the musicians.

Tickets ($24 – $40) are available online.

SAIT Centennial; Sunday, Oct. 16, noon to 7:30 p.m. SAIT Main Campus

When people turn 100, the celebrations can often be somewhat restrained. The guest of honour is often no longer particularly spry and an early bedtime can put a damper on things. No such considerations attend the party to mark SAIT’s centennial, however.

The fun begins at noon with a free barbecue lunch for the first 2,500 people to show up, and continues with the School of Transportation’s car, truck and helicopter show. There will also be campus tours, birthday cake and the revelation of the contents of the 1966 time capsule.

At 6 p.m. Dan Mangan takes to the stage for a concert involving songs that are way catchier than “Happy Birthday.” The fun wraps up with fireworks at 7:1`6 p.m. (1916 on the 24-hour clock).
