Stampede is back and kicked off Friday morning with the usual array of floats, bands, horses and dignitaries. But the first parade since the COVID-19 pandemic was missing one main ingredient from the past - spectators. “I sat on the horse for about an hour before the parade started, and then the parade started and I said, Where are the people?” said Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who was riding in his 10th parade. It was Nenshi s last ride. He has said he will not run again in this fall s municipal election.
