Take a step into the Wild WestDescription:The Calgary Exhibition & Stampede is an annual tradition for Calgarians. The city takes on a carnival-like atmosphere for 10 days each year in early July. The centre of it all is the grounds where you find the world famous rodeo, midway rides, musical performances and an agricultural exhibition. The Calgary Exhibition & Stampede facilities are also a centre for year-round entertainment. You’ll find high-profile concerts at the Pengrowth Saddledome,—home to Calgary’s NHL, WHL and lacrosse teams, the Flames, the Hitmen and the Roughnecks.

Worth noting:The first Calgary Exhibition & Stampede was in 1886. It included the richest rodeo in North America with $20,000 in prizes.

DirectionsYou can reach the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede grounds from downtown by two routes. Route A is scenic. Route B is more direct.

Route AStart at the Eau Claire Trans Canada Trail Pavilion. Travel east along the Bow River Pathway (with the river on your left). You will pass a number of bridges including the Centre Street bridge, the Harry Kroeger CTrain bridge, and the GC King pedestrian bridge.

Continue until the pathway connects to the road at 14th Avenue S.E. then turn right and travel two blocks west. Turn left onto Olympic Way to enter the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede grounds.

Route B Start at Centre Street, on the north side of Ninth Avenue S.E across from the Calgary Tower. Travel one block east (with the tower on your right) before turning right onto First Street S.E.
