The Calgary Stampede is a long standing tradition where our entire city transforms into a western spirited force. People from all over the world visit Calgary for the ten days of western themed entertainment, music, food, carnival rides, and fun. One of the biggest spectacles at the Stampede is Chuckwagon Racing. over 20,000 people gather each evening to watch wooden wagons pulled by four horses speed around a half mile track to compete for over a million dollars in prize money. This is truly the spirit of our community.
