For those of you who know about the Calgary Stampede, you'll know that this annual 10 day festival in July offers something for everyone - from rides to games, rodeos and shows, parties and music (of all types) - make your way down to the grounds. I highly recommend the daily rodeo, chuck wagon races, and evening show.
