THE GREATEST OUTDOOR SHOW ON EARTH
Well. This was one of our favourite days during our 2009 Canadian adventure.
The first Calgary Stampede was held in 1912, the era of the Canadian Old West had only just passed. It`s now an annual event which includes chuckwagon races, a midway carnival, live music, festival events, arts and culture. We loved The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.

Stampede Park is located southeast of Downtown and it is serviced by Calgary Transit's light rail system. Permanent structures at the site include the Saddle dome and Corral, Big Four Building, BMO Centre – a convention and exhibition facility – a casino, the Stampede Grandstand, the agriculture building, and a number of facilities that support the exhibition and livestock shows.
