Near record attendance for 2018 Calgary Stampede

The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth was pretty close to being the greatest ever this year, at least for attendance.

The Calgary Stampede has released the final numbers from the ten day event, showing a number close to an all-time high.

Between July 6th and 15th, 1,271,241 people went through the gates at Stampede Park.

That’s just shy of the record of more than 1.4 million we saw in 2012.

This is also an increase of over 56,000 from 2017.

The Stampede was certainly helped along by great summer weather, as there was only one major storm and some nasty wind on the last Friday night of the event.
