Know Before You Go

With 24-hour CTrain service, extended hours on many bus routes and two Express Stampede bus routes, transit is a great way to get to Stampede Park. You can take the Red Line to Erlton Stampede Station or Victoria Park Stampede Station, which will bring you right to the action.

Quick tip: Use Erlton Station for the fastest route to GMC Stadium, Nashville North, the Coca-Cola Stage and the Dog Bowl presented by Voilà. Victoria Park Stampede Station will drop you right near The Market and Stage of Wonders in the BMO Centre, and Midway fun and food.

All major intersections in the area have reopened. To improve ease-of-access and traffic flow, several one-way detours will be in place along 5 St SE, 14 Ave SE and Stampede Trail to facilitate drop-off.

Quick tip: Use the Culture + Entertainment District Stampede 2023 Access Map for traffic flow and drop-off locations.

The Calgary Stampede has public parking available for day use for $30 per entry. Parking is available north of the BMO Centre at the corner of Macleod Trail and 12 Ave, and directly north of Stampede Park in the 11 Ave lot. Vehicles can be left overnight but must be removed by 8:00am the next day.

Accessible parking stalls are available for $30 per entry in Lot 10 and Lot 20.
