Calgary Stampede Kickoff 2024

Unfortunately, the City's fire ban has not been lifted despite all of the rain and the fact that the water main repair is almost complete, and indoor water restrictions are now over.

So, please bring picnic food that doesn't need cooking.

And we'll be providing a few extra snacks, too!

It’s almost Stampede time, and we’re planning a little pre-Stampede grassroots get-together for our supporters.

Together with our friends at Common Sense Calgary, Project Confederation, and the Alberta Parents’ Union, we're having a BBQ!

We'll meet at Edworthy Park on Wednesday, July 3rd, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Specifically, we will be at Picnic Site 9 which has plenty of room, BBQs, a fire pit, and is suitable for families, but also allows for the consumption of adult beverages!

To keep the event free and as accessible as possible, it will be BYOHBB (Bring Your Own Hot Dogs, Burgers, and Beer).

But we will provide some snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, and we did have to pay to reserve the location, so if you'd like to make a voluntary donation to help us cover costs, we'd recommend $10 per person.

There's no formal agenda, just a bunch of like-minded Albertans getting together to celebrate the Stampede season.

We’ll be there, rain or shine, but keep an eye on the weather to see if you'll need an umbrella.
