Calgary Stampede
The Calgary Stampede billed as the greatest outdoor show on earth is 10 fun filled days of all things western – Think cowboys, bucking broncos, wagon races, bull riding, country music, boot scooting and more fried food than you can poke a stick at.
During July stampede fever takes over the whole city with events like the stampede parade that brings western hospitality to the city centre and the main show takes place at the appropriately named Saddledome Arena.
In its 100th year the Calgary Stampede allows you to witness the world’s best rodeo in one of Canada’s most exciting and welcoming cities.
