Marching Bands

A popular tradition, marching bands are active daily throughout the Park and in Calgary. The Calgary Stampede Showband is a creative tour de force, performing and acting as Calgary’s musical ambassadors to the world.

A Band of Outriders is a 32-piece ensemble playing everything from pop to western to celebrated soundtracks. Watch for their performances on the Park and prepare to be blown away.

Visiting bands bring local, national and international flair to Stampede Park. Watch for the Showbands Live! competition in the Pengrowth Saddledome, where bands compete for first-place prize money.
