Every year in the Canadian city of Calgary, a large Stampeed cowboy festival is held - a grand show that took place in 2012 for the hundredth time. The program of the ten-day holiday, which falls on the first days of July, includes a cowboy rodeo, an exhibition and a festival. This is the largest event, which is attended by a record number of spectators - over a million people.
All 10 festival days in Calgary are packed with a lot of events. The program of the holiday is so rich and varied that not even all local residents can afford to participate in all of its events - this is quite expensive for the family budget. To participate in the Great Cowboy Convention in Canada, you will need to pay entrance to the Stampind Ground, the competition arena. The ticket costs $ 14 for a full day.
However, do not be afraid - children under 6 years old can go there for free, and from 7 to 12 - for half the price. In addition, there are two days during the festival in which families can participate free of charge. They are called that - Family and Children's Day. True, to get through without money, you need to appear early - from 6 to 9 in the morning. In addition, the organizers of the show will offer a free breakfast to the first 20 thousand visitors.
It is not at all necessary to spend the whole day at the Stampeed Ground - you can leave the festival and then return to the evening performances. Your admission ticket will remain marked that admission is free for you on that day. The organizers of the festival also took care of the pensioners - they also have a separate day on which they can watch competitions and shows, as well as have breakfast and ride on the carousels for free. In addition, on this day, for those over 65, grandiose discounts are provided in all the numerous shops and souvenir shops working at the festival.
Speaking of carousels, without which many Canadians cannot imagine a real holiday and fun. A full day ticket for all the rides costs $ 49; on Children's Day, your younger family members get a discount - a ticket for all rides will cost only $ 20.
The cost of tickets for the rodeo and evening show with van races depends on the seats, the seated ones are more expensive, the standing ones are cheaper. If you are with restless children, it is better to purchase standing places, which cost $ 12 for an adult, and $ 6 for a child from 7 to 12 years old. You will be able to perfectly see everything that happens in the arena from any point where you are.
