What does the Calgary Stampede do for the City of Calgary? The Calgary Stampede brings millions of dollars to Calgary and Alberta. Numbers released in 2024 say year-round, it generates $540 million dollars for the province and $282 million for the local economy. Bringing millions for our local restaurants, hotels, transportation and other attractions in our province. We provide 100’s of western displays in and around the Calgary area, bringing that western flare. From a front yard straw bale and custom branded sign – to an elaborate corporate event downtown, we are your go to western décor folks!!
Visitors can experience new bands and food at the Midway. Free pancakes, new boots and jeans. 10 days that feature a parade, midway, stage shows, concerts, agricultural competitions, chuckwagon racing, and First Nations exhibitions. Parties, parties and more parties. You will see our fire-retardant straw bales, whiskey barrels and wagon wheels all over town this time of year. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners and all events.
Thousands of volunteers collaborate to change our city from the bustling metropolis to the wild wild west. Stampede is bigger than Christmas in Cow-town. It brings us together. It unites us as Calgarians and Canadians. We are The Stampede City!
The gorgeous 2025 Calgary Stampede Poster was released a few weeks ago.

Did you know that we are an official supplier for the Calgary Stampede?? You will absolutely see our décor when you head down to the grounds this year! Bales, barrels, and fencing, oh my!
