The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth
Celebrating 100 Years of the Calgary Stampede


When the Calgary and District Agricultural Society heldits first fair in 1886, organizers were thrilled that 500 of the area's 2,000 residents came out to view the exhibitions and attractions. At the time, participants could not know that they were sharing in an event that would one day attract more than a million visitors to Calgary, Alberta each year.

From this small fair, the exhibition grew. In 1912, American Guy Weadick (formerly a trick roping performer in a Wild West show) came to Calgary to try to convince local investors to help him build an event that would authentically represent ranching and farming skills and pursuits. He succeeded in convincing four localcattlemen-Pat Burns, George Lane, A. J. MacLean, and A. E. Cross, later known as the "Big Four"-to invest approximately $100,000. The firstCalgary Stampede in 1912 was a success, earning back more than the initial investment and attracting about 100,000 attendees and hundreds of performers and cowboys from across North America. After various successes and setbacks over the decade that followed, Weadick ultimately merged his event with the Calgary Industrial Exhibition in 1923. By the1970s, more than a million visitors were passing through the venue's gates each year.

The Calgary Stampede today is a world-renownedevent and Canada's highest-grossing festival. More than one-third of its visitors come from outside of Calgary-including many from the United States, Britain, Asia, and Australia-to witness the event that has,after one hundred years, earned well the name, "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth."
