1Calgary Stampede
Visiting Calgary in July? Be sure to block out some time to see the sights at this world famous rodeo. Don’t think it’s all calf roping and bull riding though, the stampede boasts incredible musical shows featuring international superstars and amazing performances by riders and performing groups. There is also a glut of local food and carnival attractions for the kids. The ten-day event calls itself “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth” and its roots can be traced back 1886 when the Calgary and District Agricultural Society held its first fair.
