Summer Fun Jun 04, 2009

If you're coming through Calgary in early July, one sight you can't afford to miss is the Calgary Stampede, Calgary's annual ten day party.
Its a good way to spend a summer day with good rides, games, food, shopping, entertainment and of course drinks, with one of the best rodeos in the world to boot.
It doesn't need to be an expensive day for you, but don't be fooled, because it very easily can be. Unfortunately, if you want to get as much as possible out of the Stampede, it would be wise to have $100-150 ready for the day. However, the only fee you're required to pay is admission which for anyone 13+ is $14. From there its up to you what you do and don't spend you're money on.
One free attraction at the Stampede is concerts at the Coca-Cola stage, which in the past has seen some pretty good bands and other acts.
All in all, its a pretty cool atmosphere for you to share with 100, 000 of your closest friends, and many great after parties at some of the local bars.

NOTE: Beer costs $7+ each. Just to give you an idea.
Send me a message if you have any other questions about costs or things to do at the Stampede.

stampede anyway. After we left the stampede we looked for a pub to eat dinner at, we eventually found one and it was pretty cute, but the service was TERRIBLE. I couldn't believe it! I guess cause they were really busy... But still, it was awful… The Calgary Stampede

My luggage did not make it with me and I was left without a camera to capture the great events at the Calgary Stampede. It was certainly interesting to see the rodeo competition with the cowboys competing to stay for at least eight seconds on the wild horses and bulls while being flung and tossed around. The Evening Show - The Spirit of 1912 was spectacular and indeed… Calgary Stampede

html during the famous Calgary Stampede, which is celebrating its 125th year! http://calgarystampede.com/ The Visitor's Center ladies were very kind and called the campground for us this morning. We are very lucky! Customs this morning went great- we got a nice Customs guy and we chatted… Oh Canada!
