"The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth".
For ten exhilarating days every July, the Old West comes alive with a city wide celebration of true western hospitality and rousing fun! From the world famous, ground shaking, Chuckwagon Races to the richest eight seconds in Rodeo to the spectacular evening Grandshow extravaganza, the Calgary Stampede offers a non-stop action that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. The high steppin’ two hour parade kicks off to the streets with a burst of energy, colour and music.

The top professional cowboys compete in a myriad of rodeo events, including bull riding, roping, bareback riding, steer wrestling and barrel racing. Ditch your city slicker look and grab your western duds, and join in on pancake breakfasts, square dancing, the hair-raising rush of the midway, authentic Indian Village, re-created frontier town, gambling hall and dazzling fireworks. If you thought the Wild West had been tamed… you’re only half right.

Year round attractions at the Calgary Stampede include the Stampede Casino, Thoroughbred and Harness Racing, Historical Murals, the Grain Academy, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Stampede Mercantile Store.

ENTERTAINMENT

OLD TIME RIGS
Tour downtown Calgary in a horse-drawn old time rig and enjoy a free pancake breakfast along the way! Meet our volunteers at the NE corner of Fluor Rope Square. A limited number of free tickets are distributed to passengers each day on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 8:30 AM.

Ticket holders are then escorted from Fluor Rope Square at 9:30 AM to the departure point on 9th Avenue and 1st Street SW (EnCana Place across from the Palliser Hotel). The tour leaves at 10:00 AM and takes approximately one hour. Rig passengers are welcome to stay on board all the way to Stampede Park and be dropped off in front of the Park's main north entrance.
