Friendly reminder: You can get into the Stampede for FREE on Sunday

There’s nothing quite like a day at the Stampede, but all those delicious foods, cold beverages, and exciting games can really put a drain on the ol’ bank account.

…A situation that is only made worse by the initial $18 you need to spend to even get through the gates!

Thankfully, The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth is giving those of us with empty pockets a bit of a break this year, as admission to the Calgary Stampede on Cenovus Family Day (AKA Sunday, July 7) will be completely free.

Not only that, but a free pancake breakfast will also be supplied, saving you even more cash that can (and, let’s face it, will) be spent elsewhere throughout the day.

The free admission will be available between 7:30 and 11 am, alongside the free pancake breakfast (while flapjacks last, that is).
