How would you like to attend the Calgary Stampede, a classic Canadian event, in July 2022? Journiac Travel & Tours has put together a custom independent travel package that includes superior first-class accommodations, top-notch event tickets, and other attractions. Get ready to put on your cowboy boots and your Stetson hat, and scroll down below to reserve your spot or sign up for updates!
Known as the greatest outdoor show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede is an excellent place to celebrate Western culture, heritage, and community spirit, all while watching world-class athletes compete in a variety of rodeo events.
As of March 2020, prize money won at the Calgary Stampede by athletes representing the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) counts toward qualifying for a coveted spot at the National Finals Rodeo, the season-ending championship for the PRCA. This further guarantees that the best competitors in the world will continue to compete in the Calgary Stampede’s one-of-a-kind rodeo format.
In addition to maintaining such a high competitive standard, the Calgary Stampede also encourages development of community values. Few people know that some of the proceeds of the Calgary Stampede go to youth and agricultural programs, as well as other local social and economic initiatives:
- The Calgary Stampede supports youth performing arts programs like The Young Canadians School of Performing Arts, the Calgary Stampede Showband, the Calgary Stampede Band of Outriders, and the Calgary Stampede Showriders.
- Promotion of agriculture is achieved through classroom training and interactive hands-on experiences.
- Annual proceeds from the Calgary Stampede Lotteries are redistributed throughout the community through partners such as the Kinsmen Club of Calgary, the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, and the Calgary Marching Show Band Association.
Best of all, horse-lovers and anyone concerned with animal welfare at the Calgary Stampede will be pleased to learn that animal care is a priority. The Calgary Stampede’s Commitment to Animal Care ensures that its Animal Care Practices are followed and enforced. Additionally, Stampede participants must adhere to a Rodeo Animal Care Code of Practice, otherwise risk being fined, or even eliminated.
Additionally, since Journiac Travel & Tours has made a commitment to animal-friendly travel, the agency is proud to announce that it will be donating $25 per traveller to the Calgary Humane Society. It is responsible for responding to public complaints of Animal Protection Act (APA) offences at the Calgary Stampede. Its Peace Officers also randomly monitor the Stampede grounds to ensure that all provincial and federal animal protection legislation is upheld.

July 11
Arrive at hotel (check-in as of 15:00). Suggested to visit Calgary Tower.
Located downtown and rising 191 metres high, the Calgary Tower was built in honour of Canada’s centennial. It offers spectacular 360-degree views of the city, the Rockies, and the prairies from its observation deck. Visitors can take a tour, watch an original film in the new theatre room, and enjoy a meal at one of the two upscale restaurants. It’s the perfect brief introduction to Calgary to start off your trip!
NB: If visiting Calgary Tower on your arrival day doesn’t suit you, feel free to visit it at any time before your departure.
July 12
Calgary Stampede with Afternoon Rodeo (13:30): Reserved seats in the Level 1 centre area of the Grandstand.
The Calgary Stampede Afternoon Rodeo takes place daily in the Grandstand Infield. This is where the world’s best competitors and animals participate in nine different rodeo events, such as barrel racing, bareback riding, tie-down roping, steer riding, bull riding, and more! Daily winners then compete in Showdown Sunday.
Admission to Stampede Park is included for the day. Why not visit Elbow River Camp to learn about the history of the area’s First Nations? Later on, you could partake in the free music offerings. Visit the Coca-Cola Stage to hear rock, alternative, and pop music. For adults only, Big Four Roadhouse serves food and alcohol, while Nashville North is a venue for live country music.
July 13
Heritage Park Historical Village (10:00-17:00).
Visit Canada’s largest living history museum while you’re in Calgary! With over 180 attractions and exhibits, you can learn all about the challenges and victories experienced by Western settlers. Explore the 1860s fur trading fort and First Nations encampment, tour around the 1880s pre-railway settlement, see a 1910 Prairie railway town, and browse the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s Gasoline Alley Museum and Heritage Town Square. There are pre-1915 travelling carnival-style games to play, wagon rides, a ferris wheel, and much more to keep the whole family entertained.

July 14
Free Day.
You can choose to plan a day trip to the nearby Rockies to see Lake Louise, take a self-drive of the Alberta Badlands, or see wild buffalo at Waterton National Park.
