The event, which bills itself as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth," is one of the world's largest rodeos and features a multitude of events including bull riding, steer wrestling, barrel racing, and chuckwagon races, among others. In addition to the rodeo competitions, the Calgary Stampede includes agricultural exhibits, a midway with rides and games, live music performances, cultural displays, food, and a parade. The event attracts over a million visitors each year and has become a significant part of the city's identity and Western Canadian culture. The term "stampede" generally denotes a sudden, uncontrolled rush or flight of a large group of animals, but in this context, it has been adapted to represent the excitement and energy of the festival.
