It won’t be business as usual this year for the Calgary Stampede as the annual Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth was cancelled due to the ongoing concern of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But officials are trying to keep the Stampede spirit alive with a number of community events being scheduled in new and different ways.
“It’s hard to imagine a July in Calgary without a Stampede pancake breakfast, mini-donuts and other midway treats,” said Dana Peers, President & Chairman of the Calgary Stampede Board, in a news release. “I’m extremely excited to share that enjoying all three of those Stampede staples will be possible this July and we also have a few more surprises in store.
“Without the support of our Stampede partners, this wouldn’t be possible. We’d like to thank them and our community for keeping the Stampede Spirit shining in 2020,“We hope there’s a little taste of Stampede for everyone this year, until we can gather together again in 2021”
