  The Calgary Stampede is a 10 day event, that starts off with a huge parade. At the Stampede grounds, there are all sorts of events and exhibits, the most interesting is the Indian Village, where there are about 20 inhabited Teepees, and Native dancing.There is a very large stadium, where they have rodeo events, and in the evening, chuckwagon races, a variety show and fireworks. The wagon races are very exciting.There is a midway, farmers exhibit, several beer tents, commercial exhibits, musical entertainment, with big name entertainers, art exhibits, etc.The activities are not restricted to the grounds. Downtown there is an Indian parade every morning, followed by free breakfasts at various chuckwagons.Some of the shopping centres put a morning aside. where they hold a huge do's, with free breakfast, music and dancing. The biggest one is at Chinook Shopping Centre. Many of the businesses in town will decorate their storefronts with a frontier motif. In the industrial area, many of the businesses throw Stampede events. Who and where is a deep secret, but you can find them by driving around.The City parties for ten days, and then it spends 355 days planning for the next one. What's so interesting about this professionally run event, is that it is all run by volunteers - the whole thing.

  Anyone thinking about visiting Calgary for the Stampede should fo it this year. Lots to see and do, LOTS to eat and drink, great for all ages. The best deals for food are right by the main enterance in Weadickville, with seating available and trees for shade it is always more quiet and relaxing, and cooler, than anywhere else on site.

  You must come to Calgary during the stampede. The free pancake breakfasts and shows throughout the city are fun. I enjoy the grounds as well...likely spend most of my time...away...from the midway, because there is so much more to do. The Chuck wagons are worth seeing and I like the grand stand as well. The whole city becomes involved. Checkout flapjack finder..add a couple w'W'S'

  For what it is, it is a really well run venue with some volunteers who have great hearts. Just remember this is a rodeo, an agriculture fair, a midway and a chuck wagon race with a few musical shows thrown in. If you have a problem spending money on rides and food or don't think horses, steers and calves should be used for entertainment ... I don't recommend you go. What will surprise you is the food options as you can get some healthy ones if you look. The sheep dog competition is also fun to watch. Just perusing the breeds of horses and other livestock is interesting. Sometimes you can get some pretty great bands that aren't just country western.

  像个很热闹的大集市，过于拥挤，而且东西很贵。很多游乐设施，不太适合年纪小的孩子。去一次就好了。晚上的表演倒是值得推荐。

  牛仔节是卡加利一年一度为期10天的盛事。每年到了七月初，就会有来自加拿大各地的观光客来这儿 “朝圣”。在牛仔节期间，整个城市充斥着牛仔气息。牛仔节期间，除了特定几天，Stampede Park 几乎每天于11 am 开门。园区内有许多种类的小吃摊、不同特色的表演、动物园区、展示区等。当然，还有不能错过的牛仔竞技 (rodeo) 及精彩的夜晚表演 (evening show)。如果哪天来个加拿大夏之旅，一定要来卡加利，感受一下西部牛仔的乡村气息!

  Every single year for as long as I can remember we have gone to the Calgary Stampede.Starting with the parade on the first Friday - and attending the rodeo, midway, grandstand events and everything in between.The parade is absolutely AMAZING - it provides hours of entertainment for people of all ages. The mjdway has every possible ride - something for everyone - guaranteed to out a smile on your face. The variety of food is simply fantastic - it's not typical carnival fare - it's a melting pot of everything you might imagine - the variety is endless.The rodeo is my favourite part. This history of the Stampede revolves around this event. The entertainment value is stellar - it's edge of your seat excitement and thrills.The Chuckwagon races and Grandstand show are also something not to miss - it's truly something everyone should experience.Every summer for 10 days (the first Friday in July and on (unless that Friday is July 1st) the city focuses on The Cakgary Stampede. If you have the opportunity to take it in - don't miss in the opportunity. It will create an everlasting memory with you - that's assured. The experience is a little costly - but it is sure worth the time and money - My guess my family is hooked.
