The action culminates with Wildcard Saturday and Showdown Sunday – the biggest one-day prize in Rodeo – and carries on into the evening with the GMC Rangeland Derby followed by the Evening Show, a spectacle of music, dancing and singing that climaxes with the explosive, award-winning ‘TransAlta Lights Up the Night’ fireworks finale.
The Calgary Stampede defines Calgary as a city. The Park may be the heart of the Stampede but the spirit is everywhere. Tap your feet to the live country music and indulge in the free pancake breakfasts.
Insider’s Tip: Allow yourself a minimum of two days to get the most out of the Stampede. If you’re planning to see both the Rodeo and the Chuckwagon Races & Evening Show, experience one event per day. This will give you the chance to explore other areas of the Stampede too.
The Calgary Stampede runs from 8 – 17 July 2011.
