The Calgary Stampede Parade, which takes place on Friday, July 8th at 7:30am, will be marshaled by hometown icons Jann Arden and Paul Brandt.
Each year the Parade showcases more than 150 western-themed entries, including 30 marching bands, 40 floats, 750 horses and 4,000 people. The website published the following statement:
We are excited to announce that in honor of our city’s “Year of Music” celebration, singer-songwriter Jann Arden and home-grown country music superstar Paul Brandt will lead the Calgary Stampede Parade… This year, the Calgary Stampede will include a special parade entry to recognize the collective effort of the women and men who courageously and selflessly supported the Fort McMurray and Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo wildfire response.
The Calgary Stampede will run for 10 days.
