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.
CALGARY Along with physical distancing, increased sanitization and other health protocols, the Calgary Stampede will be looking different this time around and that also applies to one of its premiere events. Officials say this year s parade will be a broadcast-only experience as bands and horses will make their way along a modified path through Stampede Park. No in-person spectators will be allowed because the parade will take place before the park is open to the public. While this is only expected to be the situation this year, the virtual experience won t have any less magic than the real thing.
