Calgary Stampede

Such a fun event! They have everything you can think of when it comes to a rodeo and a carnival! Definitely a great way to get your steps in and have some fun fair food too!

One must go to this stampede at least once if not every time. My favourite were the motorcycle stunts featured on a particular evening that I could not shoot but it was thrilling. Display by the Canadian army is also my favourite.
There is something for everyone. Food , rides, children rides, face painting, betting, gambling, clubbing , alcohol, performing arts, live music and the high list spectacular fireworks.
It’s very very busy during Calgary stampede but the joy is sometimes in the crowd n rush. Still the management of such a massive scale event is great. Everything flows smoothly. Buy tickets at the gate or online and you are zoomed into the GM huge grounds . Oh I forgot to mention the horse show. I missed it but I was happy just to see the stables. Must go place

I just did a quick drive by to check out the outside after doing the Calgary Tower tour. I came in August so missed the Big Rodeo in July. I might have to come back in July one year to check it out.

The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth and rightly so lives up to its expectations each & every year we visit this place! One cannot get enough of the place in a day. Wish it would last more than 10 days in a year!
On average 1.0M people visit the event each year from as far as Far East, Middle East, Europe and United States and from other parts of our great country Canada 🇨🇦

Rodeo was alot of fun! Going as a family you need 2 days at the stampede to really enjoy everything the park has to offer. ( rides, agriculture arena, dog show and entertainment, food, rodeo, fireworks, evening shows)
We had a great time and will be back next year!
** Buy the day pass not stamps!! or rides will cost you a fortune.

One of the best events in Calgary. Celebration of 2 weeks with lots of food stalls, fun and adventure rides, games and what not. Best time of the year in Calgary that sets it’s foot with parade in which different talents showcase there uniqueness.

Yes. So happy we were fortunate to attend the Stampede. First time ever.
One day we went to see the Chuck Wagon Races .. the next day attended the Stampede Rodeo and musical variety show and fireworks.
Walked around and enjoyed the grounds.
Unbelievable how many people were there. Whoa
I have attached a few photos.
If you get a chance to attend the Stampede next year, Go. Yaaaahooo

Cirque du Solei is here in Calgary, it is located on the grounds of the Stampede not at the location provided by Google Maps. Beautiful show, totally worthy,second time seen them and always amused by their talents.small stage and tent but it makes the whole show more close to u.

After a 17 year gap, we decided to check out the Calgary Stampede - we always enjoy watching coverage on TV but it’s fun to walk the midway and grounds and see live shows. The daily schedule helped us to plan the day and we lucked out by getting in free before 11:00am - not sure why but 🤠. We enjoyed: the RCMP Musical Ride - a proud Canadian tradition and celebration of 150 years of service; the illusionist, Stampede Show Riders, River Camp village with Indigenous dancers, market place displays, animal displays, show band, and Canine Stars. Searching for gluten free options was a bit of a chore but we found some poutine, dole whip and caramel apples. 😋see pictures. We ended our day with a T&S concert at the Coca Cola stage which is an amazing new-and-improved outdoor stage venue. We are 50+ so didn’t partake in rides or much after 10:30 but after 12 hours we had a full day!

One and only of its kind in entire North America if I am not wrong.

You got food, rides, cultural activities, music and what not. Remember it is for 10 days only so make sure you visit it at least once since it is worth it.

I bought a ticket online and it was 90 bucks worth.

Very nice, this was my first rodeo, it will definitely not be my last. I had a really good time in spite of people asking to be let out- back in- let out- back in-.... If you know you are going to have to keep moving you should get an outside seat. Smh

Took in the 2023 Rodeo finals from the infield.
It was an awesome show of dedication.
The crowd was invested and the competition was fierce.
Near perfect performances created champions that the crowd roared for.

The midway is always a gong show. Crazy numbers of people. All the lineups you could ever want to wait in. And the food, you'll be glad you tried it but wish you didn't.

The livestock and the shows and everything that stampede brings to Calgary is world class.

And the Coke stage is always a must.
Took in Mother Mother this year and it was just an awesome show.

Plenty of people hate on the Stampede because it makes the city a little crazy with traffic, people and events, but it's really truly something to experience.

Indeed it is the greatest outdoor show on the earth. The place is extermly busy. Plan your visit with an umbrella or a poncho since the weather during this month is completely unpredictable. Great place for kids to have tons of fun.

Rodeo and the evening show are the best of the attraction. Chuk race, relay race is great fun.

Didn't think ot was too different from the traveling trade show/amusement rides then I turned the direction of gmc stadium and wow. Just wow, the rodeo stuff the stuff that .akes it stampede was worth the trip. It was so nice to see the city all dressed up in Western wear. Would recommend 3 days if your thinking day.weekend too many event to see and experience.

The greatest outdoor show at The Calgary Stampede! Free after the parade day entry! Be sure to check value days for free entry online as there are many. If you’re in Calgary earlier in the weeks, months leading to the Stampede stop by Safeway, Sobey, Co-op or Costco to buy your gift card/stampede bucks to be used for the rides, games and food at the Calgary Stampede at a discount and additional 10-20% savings. Fantastic shows, free breakfast throughout the city of Calgary for the entire 10days and on the stampede grounds too. There are lots of food to try, shopping at BMO market place, grandstand chuck wagons race, evening shows at the grandstand, free dog show, magic show and fireworks. (Most events are included in the entrance fee, in our case free) So much to do, don’t forget the midway rides and games. Buy a lottery ticket for your chance to win a show home, car, trailer, boats and even more toys, too much to list. Come and enjoy the greatest show on earth! Usually the first two weeks in July!

2023 Calgary Stampede, first impressions is that the show has a lot going on and a lot of people attending. You just got to find your fun among it all. I would recommend the evening show on the first day.

A must see event so worth the trip and the atmosphere in the whole town is great. So much to see and do. We spent 4 nights in Calgary and I would say that's a minimum to get to enjoy the stampede.

Super happy we took the family here to The Calgary Stampede is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Alberta. The ten-day event features thrilling rodeo competitions, a lively midway, and a variety of stage shows and concerts. The food is delicious, with a wide selection of traditional Western fare and international options The atmosphere is electric, with a real sense of community and camaraderie among visitors and locals alike. The event is well-organized and easy to navigate, with plenty of free parking and shuttle services available. Overall I highly recommend the Calgary Stampede to anyone looking for a truly authentic Western experience
