Excursion Overview
The Calgary Stampede is one of Canada’s most iconic events, often referred to as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”, and this short stay puts you right in the heart of it. Based in Calgary, the experience is centred around two full days at the Stampede, combining world-class rodeo action with evening entertainment and the unique atmosphere that takes over the city each July.
Stays are typically offered as three night packages, giving you time to enjoy both the daytime and evening events at a relaxed pace. One afternoon is spent at the rodeo, where top competitors take part in events such as bull riding, barrel racing and steer wrestling, while another evening is dedicated to the famous chuckwagon races followed by the Grandstand Show, a large-scale production of music, lights and performances.
Alongside the headline events, you’ll have time to explore Stampede Park itself, with access included, as well as smaller shows, food stalls and the lively atmosphere that runs throughout the grounds. The experience also includes added touches such as a Skyride across the park and official Stampede souvenirs, helping to make it feel a little more complete.
Accommodation is based in Calgary, with a range of centrally located hotels available depending on your preference, providing a comfortable base to return to after busy days and evenings at the event.
With accommodation and event tickets included, it’s an easy and well-structured way to experience one of Canada’s most famous festivals without needing to piece everything together yourself.
Prices start from £799 per person for a three night package.
