Stampede Park is opening its doors and getting ready to welcome Calgarians and visitors from around the world July 3-12, 2026.
Getting to Stampede Park
Public Transit
Stampede-time Public Transit
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. Take the Red Line to Erlton Stampede Station or Victoria Park Stampede Station, both of which will bring you right to the action.
Quick tip:
Use Victoria Park Stampede Station for the easiest access to the Scotiabank Saddledome, Cowboys Casino, The Big Four Roadhouse, the Monster Energy Compound, and the southwest entrance of the BMO Convention Centre.
Use the Erlton Stampede Station for the best access to GMC Stadium, the Coca-Cola Stage, Nashville North, and the Dog Bowl Arena.

Where can I escape the heat or rain
If you need to beat the heat or rest your feet, there is more seating, more shade and more air-conditioned spaces. From the air-conditioned Range Food Hall on the lower level of The Big Four Building and the Nutrien Western Event Centre, to the Community Stage in the newly expanded BMO Centre, find snacks, shade and seats in more places.
