Parking on Parade Day
Howdy Neighbours! On Friday, July 4, The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, The Calgary Stampede, kicks off with the 113th Calgary Stampede. Many people head out to watch the Parade, so it's important to get there early. If you still choose to drive on Parade Day, get downtown before the road closures and parking lot closures begin.
Temporary parking restrictions
The Parade Day parking restrictions will begin from 12 p.m. on Thursday, July 3, till 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 4, 2025. These streets will be clearly marked as no-parking zones and enforcement will be strict in these areas while the parking restrictions are in effect.
Follow the parking signs to avoid getting a parking ticket or getting your vehicle towed. All parking restrictions will be lifted as soon as possible, once the parade is over, around 1 p.m.
