Pride Day at the Calgary Stampede is back and it’s a total blast

A staple of the Calgary Stampede is back this summer as Pride Day, previously known as Gay Day, returns to the grounds. Let’s go!

The Calgary Stampede Pride Day will be held on July 6 from 2 to 6 pm at the world-famous Nashville North tent, complete with cheeky name tags, the CS rainbow boot stickers, and drag performances.

Bring on the line dancing with thousands of people packing the tent for good tunes and, of course, good drinks.

The event started in 2013 with just 20 people and now has grown into thousands. With a jump in attendance like that, you know it’s a good event!

On top of all the fun to be had, the winner of the 6th Annual Western Trailblazer Award winner will be announced around 3:30 pm. The award recognizes and celebrates an individual who volunteers their time, influence and courage to make opportunities more accessible to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

So saddle up and get to the Nashville North tent EARLY for this event. You don’t want to be caught up in a wickedly long lineup.

When: July 6, 2024, from 2 to 6 pm
Where: Nashville North, Calgary Stampede grounds
