Though it has become over priced and permits a little too much gambling and drinking this is an amazing show. Be sure to go through the exhibit halls as there you will be amazed by local arts and crafts and a western art display. If you check it out there are any number of free, interesting things to be done.... More

I loved the stampede for a few reasons one of them was the concert after the Chuckwagon races. I also liked the rodeo, since it was the first rodeo I had ever been to. Overall this is my favorite event in Calgary. Christian age 10

Book early because the city fills up really quickly. You don't need a hotel near the attractions. There's a train that runs all over town. Look for a hotel on... More
