2019 Calgary Stampede will begin on Friday, July 5 and ends on Sunday, July 14 Much more than a ten-day long celebration with midway rides and bucking broncos, the Calgary Stampede is a gathering place that hosts, educates, and entertains visitors from around the world. Our purpose is to preserve and celebrate western heritage, culture, and community spirit. WHERE THE WORLD MEETS THE WEST Each year, more than one million guests from around the world come to Calgary to experience the heart-pounding action of the world’s largest outdoor rodeo, featuring bull riding, barrel racing and more. The GMC Rangeland Derby is a Stampede original, with 36 teams of horses and drivers racing to the finish line each night. The excitement is capped off nightly with the Bell Grandstand Show and a fireworks finale that lights up the sky for all 10 nights. The Calgary Stampede is also one of Canada’s largest music festivals, with five stages and 300 performers, including a slate of international music headliners. World-class agricultural events and adrenaline-pumping Midway rides will entertain guests of all ages. Experience First Nations culture and traditions at Elbow River Camp in Calgary Stampede’s beautiful ENMAX Park.

Episode 13 of Project Adventure begins with a much needed oil change and RV servicing, then it’s off to the 101rst Calgary Stampede – Come Hell or High Water! Brent, Mike, Ryan and Chris put on their signature white Stampede hats and head for the action. Just past the gates, the boys meet up with ‘Petro Canada FACE’ athlete and Olympic hopeful, Barrett Martineau, a member of the Canadian National skeleton team. With Barrett as their guide, the boys catch a glimpse of some of the Stampede’s finest attractions including the rodeo, motocross and the 36 chuck wagon GMC Rangeland Derby (whose winner receives $100,000 prize!). Then it’s off to Calgary’s Olympic Oval for a speed skating lesson with Olympians Ivanie Blondin and Denny Morrison. After countless wipeouts and a few races, the boys head back to the RV, trailing a hobbling, slightly injured Ryan.
