| The Calgary Stampede, while known for the bull ridin’, chuckwagon racin’, and midway teddy bear-winnin’, is also famous for its unstoppable party scene. The city’s population virtually doubles during this ten-day celebration of Western culture in early July, and a lot of folks visit especially for the scores of bars, clubs, casinos and concert halls. But to call it ‘nightlife’ is downright incorrect. At the Stampede, the party starts before noon and doesn’t stop until well after sundown. |
