In Calgary, the biggest event of the year is the Calgary Stampede. This year marks the Stampede’s 98th birthday, and as always, the festival proudly celebrates Calgary’s western heritage. Catch rodeo events, chuckwagon races, agricultural exhibitions and live music, or head to the midway for rides and greasy treats like beef sundaes and deep-fried pickles.
