The Calgary Stampede Parade – this is where it all begins

The Stampede Parade 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 – the Calgary Stampede.

Each year, the Stampede Parade welcomes hundreds of thousands of spectators to the Parade route to watch colourful floats, majestic horses and the always-crowd-pleasing marching bands.

The Stampede Parade is not just a parade marching down a street; it is a march through tradition, history and Calgary’s culture. See you there!
