The
Stampede Grounds (as shown on the
map) are easily accessible by public
transportation. The Calgary 'C Train' will take
you directly to the grounds as will several bus routes.
Parking is limited so public transit is a good alternative
to driving. Ask at the place you are staying for the
best route to the grounds.
The celebrations are not restricted to the actual
Stampede
Grounds - the whole city joins in the fun. Many
companies, shopping
centres, accommodations
and communities hold Stampede Breakfasts, so join
in and pile on the pancakes. For a complete list
of Stampede Breakfast locations, visit the Stampede
2008 Caravan Schedule.
As well as breakfasts there are many Stampede oriented
events on around town. Many hotels hold special Stampede
events, and don't forget to visit one of Calgary's
famous nightclubs
such as Cowboys
or Ranchman's.
Dress in your best western wear and learn how to
two-step. At Stampede, nearly everyone dresses Western,
so bring along your cowboy/girl duds or have fun
at local
western stores shopping for boots, bolo ties
and hats. Visit the Calgary
Interactive Map to find locations.
