Heads Up!🗣️
For The First Time Ever at Stampede:
- ✨An Immersive Disney Animation experience will be at BMO Centre throughout the duration of Stampede.✨
- 🍷 New this year, Stampede Cellar is a wine-oriented bar (18+) that will be open all 10 days of Stampede and is located within the newly expanded BMO Centre. If you want to see this cool new bar before Stampede, there is a wine event happening June 22 (tix are $125 and include all your samples).
- The Sam Centre is a new building dedicated to the history of the Stampede. I think it's technically located just off Stampede Park. So I don't believe you need park admission to visit (but don't quote me on that).
- 🌹New to Stampede this year, a collection of floral mannequins of famous country music stars will be on display for all 10 days of Stampede. 🌸 It's called Fleurs de Villes Country and can be seen (for free!) at the BMO Centre.
- Only on July 6-7 can you see Stampede's Robot Rodeo! 🤖 Check out this technology tournament at the BMO Centre.
New This Year:
- The 2024 Stampede Midway Foods have been announced! 🍔 Among this year's weirdest are Cheeseburger Ice Cream, Watermelon Burger, and Triple Pickle Poutine.
- I haven't heard anything new in terms of the Midway Rides this year. Note that the Superwheel will be back! 🎡
- The 2024 Stampede Parade Marshall will be Owen Crow Shoe. 🐴
- The Hunter Brothers will headline this year's Grandstand Show.
- Stampede announced that this year Nashville North tent will have raised platform VIP areas that can be booked (starting at $5000)
- Every year Stampede gets a new poster! Local artist Lloyd Templeton won this year's poster competition. 🏆
- This year's Stampede Lotteries Dream Home is worth $1,380,000 🤯 and includes $50,000 in cash, a hot tub, and a greenhouse. It's located in Rangeview (deep SE Calgary).
