We are excited to share that this year’s Parade will travel through Stampede Park prior to the Park opening to the public on the morning of Friday, July 9. Just one of many 2021 experiences that we're adjusting with safety front of mind, the parade will still feature many of the things you know and love, including floats, marching bands, and many mounted riders without in-person spectators. We invite the community to enjoy the 2021 Parade from the comfort of their living rooms through a special broadcast by our partners at Corus Entertainment.
