WE DID IT! This morning, Council voted for reasonable rules for off-site Stampede tents. Stampede succeeds because Calgarians welcome millions of people into our city. That goodwill matters. It belongs to all of us. We want visitors, artists, workers, and businesses to have a great Stampede. This decision strikes the right balance. Calgary will have a vibrant festival scene while respecting the people who live nearby. On weeknights, concerts end at midnight, followed by wind-down music until 1 a.m. On weekends, music ends at 2 a.m. Calgary remains the most permissive major city in North America for outdoor music. We run later than Coachella, Lollapalooza, and other major festivals in North America. Thousands of Calgarians shared their views. Council listened. I also really appreciate the outreach from Cowboys management and commit to working with operators who respect Calgarians and their neighbours. Together, we will put on a safe, successful Stampede that brings people together. Stampede belongs to all of us. Let’s celebrate it with pride.
