Calgary Stampede
210 Saint George's Drive NE., Calgary, Alberta, AB T2E 7VG
The Basics
The self-proclaimed Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth attracts more than a million visitors over 10 days of events and attractions, kicking off with an opening parade featuring dozens of marching bands, more than 150 floats, marching bands, dancers, politicians, and business leaders.
Most travelers plan to spend at least two days at Calgary Stampede to allow time to fully explore the park. Don’t miss the nightly Rangeland Derby, where teams of horses and drivers race to a finish line, followed by a fireworks finale. General admission tickets grant access to the rides, games, and food stalls of Stampede Park, but rodeo events and concerts require separate tickets.

An Amazing Way to Learn About Calgary!
Greg was an amazing guide. He brought everything to my level-both in term of my interests and my cycling abilities,
There was one “walk the bike up the hill” stretch of the tour, and he made me feel comfortable when that happened…and it was definitely worth it! An amazing view of Calgary downtown and key arenas. Spectacular!!!
I strongly recommend this tour.
