The Calgary Stampede: The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth

If you are a rodeo fan, you know the Calgary Stampede is the mecca of all outdoor rodeos. It’s where every rodeo cowboy dreams of competing. Spectators like me love watching this classic rodeo – but there is so much more. I had no idea this annual event was so extensive. The number of things to do, see, and experience at the Calgary Stampede is mind-boggling. But one thing is obvious — the Stampede is where they celebrate the people, the animals, the land, the traditions, and the values that make up the unique spirit of the West. 

This is the place to go if you seek a fascinating first-class vacation. 

The caliber of a rodeo comes down to two things: the skill of the competitors and the quality of the horses, bulls, and steers. The Stampede Rodeo features the world’s best competitors and animals. The best of the best competes here at “The World’s Largest Outdoor Rodeo,” which will continue featuring 30 of the top athletes in each of the six events — Bareback Riding, Barrel Racing, Tie-Down-Roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Steer Wrestling, and Bull Riding — broken into three hotly contested pools. The top four athletes in each pool will advance to Showdown Sunday, earning the chance to win the coveted Calgary Stampede Championship! 

The Grandstand Show takes audiences on a spectacular journey with hit music, jaw-dropping stunts, illuminating displays, and high-energy entertainers. Following the rodeo, it is full of unexpected, magnificent entertainment. As the evening wraps up, the Grandstand Show dazzles audiences with elaborate song, dance, and acrobatics.  It concludes with a spectacular drone and fireworks finale! 

The Calgary Stampede is well known for giving fans a fantastic music festival. This year is no exception as Shania Twain kicks off this ultimate live music experience. Across the ten days of the Stampede, over 100 musical acts are set to perform. Visit: CalgaryStampede.com/Stampede/Music

I’ve just touched the tip of the iceberg. I hope you understand why the Calgary Stampede has earned the title “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.” 

Be sure to stay multiple days in Calgary for this epic show — you don’t want to miss a single thing.
