Calgary Stampede 2026: The Greatest Outdoor Show Returns
Get your cowboy hats ready! The 2026 Calgary Stampede is set to be bigger and bolder than ever before. From July 3rd to July 12th, Calgary transforms into a western wonderland.
What's New in 2026?
This year features the newly expanded BMO Centre, hosting the largest indoor rodeo experience in Canada. The midway also introduces five new adrenaline-pumping rides and, of course, some outrageous new food creations (deep-fried maple syrup butter, anyone?).
Concert Lineup
The Coca-Cola Stage is bringing heavy hitters this year. Rumors suggest major pop and country stars are headlining, making the evening shows unmissable.
Budgeting for the Stampede
Between tickets, midway games, and food, costs can stack up. A day at the Stampede for a group of four can easily exceed $500.
