This year 2024 Stampede is going to be one of the best and finest in the entire history of Stampede! you do not want to miss this expanded and the most special Calgary Exhibition & Stampede in the entire world! I know becuase I live here and host soo many amazing guests!!!
@@DarcySchewaljethe energy has been different! It has been chill, it will continue to be chill.. It’s a good family event! And it will continue to be! 😜
Welcome to my home. I've been a DJ in Calgary for over 25 years. Too many Stampede events to count. Lol Happy you enjoyed the Greatest Outdoor show on Earth! Yahoo
I've been following you for a long time and love watching your content and your journey. I'm from Calgary and live very close to the Market Mall. There is so much happening here during the Stampede. The Stampede is amazing and I hope you were able to get to a night at the rodeo. I have always believe the heart of the Stampede though is the community events that go on continuously all over the city during the whole time. It pulls this city together through the good times and the bad and pulls alot of the rest of Alberta into it as well. I hope you have more content coming soon. Keep it up Gareth and love the hat!
Thank you for coming and supporting this great city and province! The Calgary stampede is absolutely incredible! And so chill this year! Enjoy it and be safe! ❤
The boots and hats genuinely look amazing. I'd love to own high quality and well-crafted items such as those even though I'm so far from being a cowgirl lol. Can't wait for the cowboy episode!
Love your videos, they’ve helped me make numerous decisions on my European travels! Used to live in Calgary and happy you got to experience the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth!! 😃
Great job on promoting Great North, Calgary Alberta. As Calgarian myself, all this “greatest show on earth “ is about single people who have deep pockets. We , many as I am, mostly leave town to avoid all this crowd and expensive visit to the Stampede grounds. Yahoo
You beat me too this comment, I try and spend as little time as possible in Calgary during the stampede. It was fun as I first moved to Calgary, now it's an over priced night out where you're spending time around drunks. The parking is horrible if you're unfortunate to live nearby the grounds as everyone wants free parking, everyone pretends to be a cowboy as they have no clue about what's involved, and most of all it's insanely expensive with you getting less and less each year. I call it Western Halloween
Where's Davey Gravy pancake breakfast video?! Haha. This shows lots but not all of amazing Calgary Stampede. Hope you'll come back for a 2nd chance to view how wild it is.
Gareth, that was just wonderful. An intelligent, entertaining video, beautifully shot and edited. I don't know whether you know this, but a lot of people in the big cities of central Canada absolutely despise Alberta and Albertans. This video shows just how wrong they are. Clearly, Calgary rocks and you'd have to be a loser NOT to enjoy yourself at the Stampede.
Wow that is one epic rodeo, I’ve been to rodeo’s here in Australia but nothing on a scale like that. I used to ride horses when I was kid and have had my own rodeo’s, when some horses decided to try and buck me off. Never got thrown off , just hung and enjoyed the ride and afterwards they get tired of trying to get rid of me and then start behaving.👍
Ive been in calgary for 3 years and never been to stampede cuz its either i pay my rent or go to stampede. I think what i have to do is start saving from the year before.
Do 300,000 people line the parade route? . Calgary Stampede had 1,384,632 people pass through the gates over 10 days in 2023. It truly is the greatest outdoor show on earth.
Your blind as a BAT!! Lots of real Cowboys around Stampede time.. I live here, I know. This is where the real Ranchers converge ounce a year.. (Not just Joe Public) You see them around the track and pubs and all over town... DUH!!!
Rodeos- a place where grown adults play dress up and watch animals being abused for entertainment… if you disagree, imagine a human in their place of the animal and tell me if it’s humane.. just a couple years ago a calf had its neck broke in the middle of a rodeo in Canada, even after the snap, the ass hole continued to wrangle the poor baby..
Used to be fun until torontonians moved to Calgary during covid and ruined the city. Now the only way to get a real western experience in calgary is by leaving it. Pray to God that torontonians don't start buying there.
GARETH,, WOW!!! WHAT A GREAT VIDEO,,,WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FOOD !!!! YOU MAKE A SEXY ,COW BOY!! HA!! ,, I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR YOU TO FEEL MUCH BETTER,, YES !! LIVE UP A GREAT LIFE ... AMEN,, G d BLESS...
Awesome episode, man! Not gonna lie, the Calgary Stampede isn't something that was on my radar but it looks like a lot of fun! I loved seeing the Indigenous representation there and seeing you get your hat and boots. And how awesome is it that the man Shaquille O'Neal was there?! So cool! Love this episode. Beautifully shot and so informative!
@subspace666 Calgary and Quebec City are sister cities. Bonhomme is even in the parade most years. All are welcome at the Stampede. Come, it is a blast
Real cowboys wear loose boots.. not for walking, for riding.. So if you fall you don’t get dragged.. But you need Comfort for walking.. Tight boots are good for that.. But still wrong.. Nothing beats a good pair of sneakers 😂
Next time he can take in the Grandstand show and fireworks, and go into the Round-up Centre (unfortunately renamed the BMO Centre because that's who paid for its expansion) to see all the art and wares and wine gardens. Plus the Agriculture barns to see all the animals and the sheepdog and cutting horse trials. Etc!
I went to Coachella in 2007, 2010 and 2019. First 2 times were awesome, the last time was a completely different atmosphere. It went from music fans and hippies to way too many social media influencers and instagram models that were more interested in the perfect costume and getting photos for clout and wouldn’t even stay for the music. It was bizarre to me and the whole thing felt pretentious. I still had fun but it’s lost the original spirit

Calgary stampede is the most Calgary thing you could think of 😜
I love it ❤
Thank you for representing my community #indigenous
16:20 Gareth sounds like he has had some wobbly pops ! welcome to the stampede !
It's nice to see people celebrating the western way. I always watch the Calgary stampede on TV
Thank you for coming and supporting this great city and province!
The Calgary stampede is absolutely incredible!
And so chill this year!
Enjoy it and be safe! ❤
Excellent. I am glad I was able to virtually tag along!

I loved seeing my Indigenous family represented!! Thank you!
yeah i like how also 9/10 of the homeless drug addicts are also that same race, represent!
Forgot to mention all the music festival tents off the grounds around downtown
What an experience!! So good!! Thank you for sharing

This is so well made! I really struggle with long videos cuz i get distracted/bored but i went through all of this is just one sitting!❤
So happy I got to meet you this trip! This video is so awesome, come back for the next stampede!!!!
Been there.done that. Best years of my life.
Where's Davey Gravy pancake breakfast video?! Haha. This shows lots but not all of amazing Calgary Stampede. Hope you'll come back for a 2nd chance to view how wild it is.
Haha, Davey Gravy crushes the pancake tutorials! lol
BYOW 💦💧thanks for cutting pipe inspections during your run Nenshi
Omg. You are so cute your positivity is infectious.
Great video Gareth! 46 years ago we were at the stampede for our honeymoon. Things have changed a bit!
Hat looks dope!
Dude you were lit by then end. Thanks for the video and coming to Canada.
Gareth, that was just wonderful. An intelligent, entertaining video, beautifully shot and edited.
I don't know whether you know this, but a lot of people in the big cities of central Canada absolutely despise Alberta and Albertans. This video shows just how wrong they are. Clearly, Calgary rocks and you'd have to be a loser NOT to enjoy yourself at the Stampede.
Hahaha! Funny to see Jay here, looking good bud
Great job!! ❤
If you want to see a lot of people gather with powwows go to Albuquerque, NM to gatherings of nations. This year the dates are April 25-27.
Nice. Alot of fun
Omg I’m going this July for the first time, and I’ve lived 3 hours away for 18 years!! No excuse.
Taking my 13 year old and stoked for this review:)
This is where I live!
I cant believe I was in Calgary and completely skipped the stampede....that was a mistake.
Great information great video
😂😂😂 Great Editing on Dancing
Wow that is one epic rodeo, I’ve been to rodeo’s here in Australia but nothing on a scale like that.
I used to ride horses when I was kid and have had my own rodeo’s, when some horses decided to try and buck me off. Never got thrown off , just hung and enjoyed the ride and afterwards they get tired of trying to get rid of me and then start behaving.👍
Gotta love Canadian women!
Ive been in calgary for 3 years and never been to stampede cuz its either i pay my rent or go to stampede. I think what i have to do is start saving from the year before.
How much fun. I want to go
How did I end up getting this video in my feed and I see the lovely Jay Mcdonald on my screen. Looking good fine sir!
See you here in July?? || I am proud permanent resident here in Calgary Alberta 🇨🇦 From the Philippines 🇵🇭
They do rthis in San Antonio Texas in February. Pretty much the same thing for Rodeo week.
Do 300,000 people line the parade route? . Calgary Stampede had 1,384,632 people pass through the gates over 10 days in 2023. It truly is the greatest outdoor show on earth.
It's not the same 🇨🇦🍻
The ice cream was the worst. No idea why they decided to make ketchup and mustard and I love ketchup lol
The Calgary Scampede 😂
No chuckwagon races? But good vid.
Gotta wear jeans that go over your boots!!!
Wow shaq was there .
Wrap it up…plenty of STI around 😂
bro posted this hella late
The cowgirls are killer hot
i live in calgary
Been to this several times and there is not a real cowboy in sight. Just wanna be boys playing cowboy.
Your blind as a BAT!! Lots of real Cowboys around Stampede time.. I live here, I know. This is where the real Ranchers converge ounce a year.. (Not just Joe Public) You see them around the track and pubs and all over town... DUH!!!
Isn't the stampede in July, we're in April and this was uploaded 10 days ago.
Maybe he can show us his time machine too.
He mentions on the video it was from 2023. You weren’t listening. Lol
@@Smucko1The video title didn't and it was posted a few days ago, back to the tine machine comment.
الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام
أسأل الله أن يهديكم
what G master lens is that at 19:41?
Shaq Diesel!!!
💖💘💖
Yes
You will need $1000.00 more dollars this year then last and get less for your money.!
Trudeau can't show his face in the stampede because he would be BOOED out of the province.... LOL
The only way your going to survive
Is moving to Alberta
Gross
🌎🌍🌏🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Great video as always but damn, the ratio of beautiful women was insane
So this is a year ago?
Yes, this was from 2023!
Drink triples, see double, act single, yahoo
Rodeos- a place where grown adults play dress up and watch animals being abused for entertainment… if you disagree, imagine a human in their place of the animal and tell me if it’s humane.. just a couple years ago a calf had its neck broke in the middle of a rodeo in Canada, even after the snap, the ass hole continued to wrangle the poor baby..
No , it’s nothing like cochella haha
Shaq 😂
$100 hot dog. Yeah nah
Canada's coachella ? Didnt know Coachella was a country festival ?
There's more than just country music at the Stampede.
Stampede is overrated. This is how boring people party.
Shut up
Shut up
Used to be fun until torontonians moved to Calgary during covid and ruined the city. Now the only way to get a real western experience in calgary is by leaving it. Pray to God that torontonians don't start buying there.
Those hats you bought how much did they cost?.
This should be called the greatest Outdoor rip-off Show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede makes too much money to have their prices as high as they are
That's how it should be. Imagine how jam-packed it would be if you had 2 dollar hotdogs and beers. Plus, it honestly keeps bum's.
Just ignore it and live in peace.
Everything in Canada is a rip off…
Same with K-Days. It’s sick what used to be a family fun event is now out of reach for so many people.
😂😂😂 you are poor, not our problem.
The biggest and greatest rip-off outdoor Rodeo show in the world.
Great stuff Gareth, looks like a super fun time and amazing editing.
GARETH,, WOW!!! WHAT A GREAT VIDEO,,,WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FOOD !!!! YOU MAKE A SEXY ,COW BOY!! HA!! ,, I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR YOU TO FEEL MUCH BETTER,, YES !! LIVE UP A GREAT LIFE ... AMEN,, G d BLESS...
Awesome episode, man! Not gonna lie, the Calgary Stampede isn't something that was on my radar but it looks like a lot of fun! I loved seeing the Indigenous representation there and seeing you get your hat and boots. And how awesome is it that the man Shaquille O'Neal was there?! So cool! Love this episode.

sounds like a nice weekend and a place i would go looks like great fun but i am french Canadian so i would probably get shot. :P
@subspace666 Calgary and Quebec City are sister cities. Bonhomme is even in the parade most years. All are welcome at the Stampede. Come, it is a blast
Real cowboys wear loose boots..
not for walking, for riding..
So if you fall you don’t get dragged..
But you need Comfort for walking..
Tight boots are good for that..
But still wrong..
Nothing beats a good pair of sneakers 😂
Great episode, Gareth, the quality of the content and production is off the charts!!
Welcome to calgary!!! It really is the best time
Next time he can take in the Grandstand show and fireworks, and go into the Round-up Centre (unfortunately renamed the BMO Centre because that's who paid for its expansion) to see all the art and wares and wine gardens. Plus the Agriculture barns to see all the animals and the sheepdog and cutting horse trials. Etc!
Why is he pronouncing it KELgary? its an "A" not an "E"
Land of my people, you're surrounded by my relatives.
Get soft leather boots… breakin in boots suck
Make sure you get your tetanus shot, and load up on penicillin before you come. It’s not like it used to be sadly….
Amazing video of the famous Stampede.
Looks like you couldn’t wear the boots for too long.
Ha Ha! This is NOTHING like Coachella.You should go,Gareth,and do a video from there.❤
I went to Coachella in 2007, 2010 and 2019. First 2 times were awesome, the last time was a completely different atmosphere. It went from music fans and hippies to way too many social media influencers and instagram models that were more interested in the perfect costume and getting photos for clout and wouldn’t even stay for the music. It was bizarre to me and the whole thing felt pretentious. I still had fun but it’s lost the original spirit
Not even close to coachella lmao 😂
Kinda like CNE
many hot chix 🔥😍
Ahhh shaq and his dubstep set LOL
So geyyyyy 😂
15:20👀
Now that was fun.
It’s awesome
So happy to see you showing acknowledgment to the indigenous communities !
