If you are not a ski bunny, an ice fisher, or a dog sled racer you probably live for the end of the arctic freeze and yearn for the cloudless swelter of an urban, prairie summer. Even if you don’t despise the frigid Calgary winters, the summer months are still a welcome respite. From rafting down the Bow and patio beers, to backyard BBQs and movies in the park, Calgary comes alive in the warmest months with plenty of outdoor activities. The inner city is host to some of the most awaited and exciting summer events. Let’s take a look at the inner-city experience- Calgary summer festival edition!

Calgary Stampede
https://www.calgarystampede.com/
While it might not be a festival in the strictest definition, we would be remiss to omit The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth. The Calgary Stampede is ten days of rodeo, racing, and rides right in the heart of the city. It kicks off with a world-renowned parade and runs daily, sun up until well past sundown. Take in the midway; impossible-to-win games and the flips and spins of rollercoasters. Feast on some delicious and terrifying treats (“those little donuts”-yum, “cricket corndogs”-um?), Visit the Grandstand for steer wrestling and barrel racing, chuckwagon races, and The Young Canadians evening show. Catch world-class musical acts at the Coca-Cola Stage. Finish each day with jaw-dropping fireworks displays, visible across the city. This is just a small sampling of the boot-stomping fun to be had from July 8th-17th, 2022.
Stampede Park is within walking distance for Elbow Park and Mount Royal.
