Stay tuned for 2025 events
For the first two weeks of July, the Calgary Stampede takes over the entire city. Of course, you are going to spend plenty of time at the Calgary Stampede itself. But don’t miss out on all the amazing events and specials happening throughout Calgary during Stampede.
The Stampede Parade has served as the kickoff to The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth since 1912. The procession of colourful floats, majestic horses, and high-energy marching bands winds through 18 blocks of downtown Calgary. The 2024 parade marshal is actor Owen Crow Shoe who co-stars alongside the 2022 Parade Marshal Kevin Costner in the movie Horizon: An American Saga.
