81 Giddy Up for the Calgary Stampede Celebrating Calgary's Western heritage and values, this community-wide festival has developed into the 'Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth', attracting over one million visitors from all across the world. In July, the Old West comes alive in Calgary, and Travelmarvel offers you the opportunity to take part in the citywide celebrations of true Western hospitality. COWTOWN COMES ALIVE A century ago, Calgary was a sleepy little town with a Wild West pedigree and rural roots. Fast forward to today and 'Cowtown' has transformed into the heart of the New West, as its crisp skyline seems to rise from the plains as if by sheer force of will. All the elements of the Canadian West – Mounties, railroads, cowboys, cattle, oil – have converged to create a city with a modern face and a traditional soul. WHERE YOU'LL STAY During your three-night Calgary adventure, you'll stay at the central Calgary Marriott Downtown Hotel, in the middle of downtown Calgary. A quiet oasis amidst the bustle of the city, you'll enjoy returning to your spacious and sophisticated room after a thrilling time at the Calgary Stampede. SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO The famous Calgary Stampede promises larger-than-life rodeos, parades, rides and pancake breakfasts. Bull-riding, calf-roping, steer-wrestling, cow-tackling, as well as more than one million dollars in prize money, which lure in the world's best rodeo champions for a tournament unlike any other. Along with square dancing, mock gun fights, country bands, restaurants and livestock, there is plenty to see. Maybe pick up some cowboy outfits or boots at one of the many stalls, or head to the Indian Teepee Village to learn about the indigenous traditions of the First Nations. Your two-day 'Stampede Thrill Package' includes a reserved rodeo ticket for the main grandstand, gate admission and a souvenir program, and an evening ticket to the adrenaline-pumping Chuckwagon Races. The Grandstand Show takes place on the first day and the Chuckwagon Races on the second day. You'll also enjoy two Skyrides over Stampede Park and a Calgary Stampede golf shirt and bag.
