Featured Holiday
The Calgary Stampede is a wild west extravaganza - a historic celebration of farming life, of agriculture and of the rodeo. It features musical entertainment in the evenings, chuckwagon races, agriculture competitions, fair ground rides, a daily parade and the world’s largest outdoor rodeo competition. The first stampede took place in 1912 and drew large numbers of competitors and more than 100,000 spectators. Visitors to the modern ten day annual July event usually total more than a million, and a further two million viewers tune in and watch the parade on television. Prize money for the six rodeo events recently topped $1.6 million dollars. Locals and visitor are encouraged to ‘dress western’ for the duration of the event and enjoy the range of traditional sitting on the edge of your seat style western entertainment.
