Fairmont Palliser Welcomes Back Live Music Under New Director of Food and Beverage
Historic property provides the perfect gathering place to reconnect
Calgary, Alberta (March 14, 2022) - Fairmont Palliser’s newest Director of Food and Beverage, Jean-Michel Buffard, is thrilled to bring live music and events back to its Hawthorn Dining Room and Bar this spring to entice Calgarians and travellers to experience the grandest of feelings.
With over 25 years of food and beverage experience, Buffard’s work has taken him around the world to destinations such as Mexico, London and Bermuda. His fresh vision and extensive background is the catalyst for bringing live music and events back to the iconic property.
Following the success of pop-up events such as Tipsy Parrot Rum Shack, a Caribbean-inspired pop-up bar, and holiday pop-up Tipsy Elf, Fairmont Palliser is excited to welcome guests to enjoy DJ J every Friday night and live jazz on Saturdays and Sundays.
“We are extremely excited to be able to re-energize the hotel with live music and events,” said Director of Food and Beverage at Fairmont Palliser, Jean-Michel Buffard. “Hawthorn Dining Room and Bar provides the perfect opportunity for people to let loose after the difficulties of the last two years. We invite everyone to come, be entertained and allow us to take care of you.”
Weekends in March will see Hawthorn Dining Room and Bar welcome Jazz artists, Michelle Joly Trio, Chance Devlin, and SallieMae as the soulful background to sip on cocktails and offer access to notable events such as the sold-out Champagne wine tasting dinner presented by Veuve Clicquot.
Hawthorn Dining Room and Bar redefines the Calgary culinary experience with sociable, family-style dining from Alberta’s most trusted producers, farmers and suppliers. With a modern vintage experience, Hawthorn pays homage to the past, while looking forward to the future in a comfortable setting with a rotating menu and carefully crafted wine list.
