Calgary Stampede Parade

The Stampede Parade presented by Suncor is an iconic part of Calgary’s cultural identity. Since 1912, the Stampede Parade has served as the official kickoff of The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. Each year, the Stampede Parade entertains the community with a showcase of colourful floats, majestic horses and high-energy marching bands. It's not just a parade marching down a street; it is a march through tradition, history and Calgary’s culture. Go straight from the Parade to the Park and receive FREE admission from 11:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
