Calgary Stampede Moist Band Coke Stage 2015 — Moist

Loved seeing/hearing them play the Coke stage, back in 2015.

The Dog Bowl

Lots of dogs doing all kinds of crazy stunts, tricks, catching things and even freestyle dancing as the Stampede Showband Alumni perform. Multiple shows every day during Stampede. All of the showtimes are available on the Calgary Stampede website.

Explore The Barns In The Agriculture Building

Either by yourself or with a guide, touring the barns and animal pens is something everyone should do. Kids especially love it because a lot of it is hands on. You can watch sheep sheering competitions, watch miniature donkeys do whatever they do, milk a cow, all sorts of farmy stuff. Good education experience as well as fun to do (plus it gets you out of the sun for a bit).

There’s a ton of things to do in the Agriculture Zone. The Blacksmith Showcase is always fun to watch.

Freestyle Motocross Monster Energy Compound

In the middle of the grounds is this giant Motocross arena called the Monster Energy Compound, you can’t miss seeing (or hearing) it. Several really talented Motocross athletes do flips and jumps and tricks and it’s really entertaining (especially for kids). All of the showtimes are available on the Calgary Stampede website. Note: it’s outdoors and uncovered so you’ll be sitting in the sun, or rain. Bring an umbrella if needed!

DUNDU – The Giants of Light

An illuminated large-scale puppet show. It’s only happening between July 10th and 14th, don’t miss it.

Chill Out In The Western Oasis

Somewhat of a hidden gem at the Stampede, the Western Oasis is dark, cool, quiet and full of artwork you can check out. There’s a bar in the middle for wine and beers if that’s your thing too. It’s inside the BMO centre, halls D and E.

Big Four Roadhouse: Food/Beer/Wine + Games

The food and beer and wine ain’t free of course, but you can totally go inside to have a seat and relax. They’ve also got Whisky. I would recommend buying something from their local craft beer menu because local craft beer is good stuff. Totally my jam. They also have several classic fun over-sized board games and stuff you can play for free. Connect Four, Air Hockey, Ping Pong, Shuffle Board, etc.

BMO Kids Zone

There is all sorts of free things to do for kids at the Calgary Stampede, they really do a great job of helping keep them entertained. My buddy Dave is the biggest fan of Paw Patrol so he’s going to be thrilled when he sees this. Free face painting!

BMO kids day is on July 10th. From 7 am – 9 am enjoy FREE entry for kids 12 & under, as well as for accompanying adults. $2 entry for kids 12 and under for the rest of the day.

Visit The Elbow River Camp

You’re invited to experience cultures of the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, Tsuut’ina, and Stoney Nakoda First Nations in Elbow River Camp presented by Enbridge. Here you will find 26 tipis to visit, local artisans selling jewelry and art, bannock and Saskatoon berry jam, traditional dancing, and much more.

Elbow River Camp has been a major part of the Calgary Stampede since the inception in 1912. It’s a great way for visitors to experience the traditions and culture of First Nations peoples from the Treaty 7 nations of Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, Stoney Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina firsthand.

Catch The World Association of Marching Showbands World Championship

Scotiabank Saddledome – July 6, 7, 8 from 6 p.m. – 11 p.m.

Taking over the Scotiabank Saddledome, this headline event features marching bands from across the globe. Each competitive group brings their unique international style and culture to the activity. Come watch as these groups compete to win the World Association of Marching Showbands World Championship Flag! There’s also a drumline battle and a parade competition.

You can also catch the Stampede Showband playing on the steps in front of the Saddledome throughout the day.

Light Balance LED Show In the Corral

Light Balance is a hi-tech neon and LED show with elements of acrobatic and dance choreography. When the lights go out, you are left alone with yourself, armed only by imagination. The atmosphere of magic, light, dance and music gets into you; makes you believe in what is happening on a stage. The colorful images of a neon world remain in mind for a long time. This is Light Balance; a team of talented young dancers, designers, programmers, and choreographers.

Watch The Fireworks!

Certainly the best perk with park admission of them all, no? The fireworks go off every night at around 11 pm, marking the end of that evenings Grandstand show. The fireworks go off for about 10 minutes, so find a good spot to see them!
