Calgary Stampede

The Calgary Stampede is back and bigger than ever, turning the city into a wild, thrilling celebration of Western spirit from July 4 to 13. It’s ten days of non-stop action—rodeo battles that keep you on the edge of your seat, heart-pounding chuckwagon races, and jaw-dropping Grandstand shows lighting up the night sky. The midway is buzzing with new wild eats and adrenaline-pumping rides, while live music spills from every corner, from country to rock to hip-hop. Families dive into free fun days, kids’ zones, and cultural showcases that bring together the best of Indigenous traditions, farming roots, and modern spectacle. Whether you’re two-stepping in cowboy boots or grabbing deep-fried bubble tea, the Stampede is pure energy, pure fun, and pure Calgarys
