Get your toes tapping to the tunes of local bands like High Steppin’ Daddy and The Frontiers, or test your luck at the claw machines with fabulous prizes up for grabs. Prizes include hat stickers, bandanas, sunglasses, waterless tattoos, and if you’re lucky enough, a mystery prize!

You’ll also be able to show off your rodeo skills on a Mechanical Bull and see how long you can stay in the saddle. Plus, there will be interactive games to choose from, including Giant Connect 4 and High Striker.  

Complimentary food will also be served up, including delicious hot sandwiches like smoked brisket, pulled pork, and smoked portobello mushroom. And to help you cool off in the sun, you’ll be treated to El Creamino ice pops, sodas, and water — all on the house. 

What’s more, between July 7 and July 15, you have the chance to win a brand-new GMC vehicle. Simply visit one of the 8 participating Calgary GM dealerships and talk to a brand ambassador for a chance to match and win.
