While the route will be the same, a distinct change is coming to the Calgary Stampede Parade.
Calgarians will see the marching bands, floats, and horses travelling in the opposite direction from previous years.
“We love to see Calgarians celebrate the start of Stampede along the Parade route, and we want to make it easier for them to continue the fun just a few blocks away at Stampede Park,” said Calgary Stampede President and Chairman of the board, Dave Sibbald.
In July, the parade will begin at the intersection of 9 Ave. and 1 Street S.E. and will then travel along the route to the end point of 6 Ave. and 3 Street S.E.
“By changing the direction, we’re opening up a path to allow for much easier movement toward Stampede Park once the Parade has passed,” added Sibbald.
Free admission to Stampede Park is also being offered on July 7 until 1:30 p.m.
