The auditorium was built in 1955 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Alberta. It is owned and operated by the Government of Alberta.
The Jubilee is home to Calgary Opera, Alberta Ballet, the Kiwanis Music Festival, and the annual Canadian Legion Remembrance Day Ceremonies. For many years it has hosted Broadway shows, stand-up comedians, theatre productions, bands, orchestras, dance festivals and awards ceremonies.
