What is a stampede in Calgary Alberta?
There is no simple answer:
The Calgary stampede started in 1912 as a big rodeo and livestock exhibition but it's much larger now: there is still a nightly (controversial) rodeo and chuckwagon races, and a grandstand show with various entertainment. Each night ends with a big fireworks display and people convene at various spots around the city to watch it. On the grounds of the park there is a large midway and a selection of rides (essentially a big carnival), and there is the Coca Cola stage where visitors can attend free concerts each day. You must buy tickets to enter the park and for the rides. There are various food vendors on the grounds and places to buy souvenirs. The stampede begins with a big parade for which most downtown streets are shut off and hundreds of thousands of people attend.
In addition to the events at Stampede Park (which is located near the centre of the city) the city has many things going on during the 10 days of Stampede: there are events a local parks and bars, there are free breakfasts and lunches at various locations, usually with live entertainment, and businesses throughout the city decorate their offices and lobbies with painted glass and a western theme. Most office employees are encouraged to wear western attire during this time. Tourism is very high during this time: in 2012 more than 1,000,000 people attended the stampede during the 10 day run. Tourism is very high during Stampede and in the week prior to and following the exhibition, and the number of people in the city swells noticably. Due to this, many businesses that benefit from tourism will offer entertainment or promotions during this time and the city also provides various events.
