More on the Calgary Stampede ....
At the Park
Since 1912, the Calgary Stampede Has been built on world-famous events. Our Chuckwagons and Rodeo are one of a kind. The Midway and Evening Show sparkle. Over one million people come down and take part.
Around Town
The Park may be the heart of the Stampede, but the spirit is everywhere. Watch for live country music, free pancake breakfasts, maybe even a free cowboy hat! All of Calgary comes alive with Stampede spirit.
Agriculture
Whether you're a country bumpkin or a city slicker, Ag-tivity in the City has something for everyone. Journey through our Funky Farm Works with Mad Scientists on a rustic turn-of-the-century farm, or take the Great Aggie Challenge! Whatever you do, don’t miss the competition, education and fun of our agriculture displays.
History
In 1912 the great Stampede was born from the vision of Guy Weadick. Guy was a famous working cowboy and vaudeville entertainer featured in the traveling wild-west shows that were popular world-wide in the early 1900s. He was a man with a dream of celebrating the romance and authentic culture of the old west.
The Stampede we enjoy today has evolved from Guy's vision. He was successful because he understood that as much as things change, we need to believe in the way things were.
Our historical information tells the story of who we were in our earliest days, and reminds us that Guy was right; fundamentally we believe in the same western values today as we did in 1912.
