As the sun sets over Calgary, the BMO Centre at Stampede Park comes to life with it's glowing pavilion lights 😍. 1,500 light soffits illuminate the 170-ft. curved canopy, shifting in sync with the sunset to showcase vibrant color themes inspired by Alberta’s grasses, fire, rain, and the auroras—capturing the dynamic energy of the midway every July.

About us
The Calgary Stampede celebrates the people, the animals, the land, the traditions and the values that make up the unique spirit of the west. The Calgary Stampede contributes to the quality of life in Calgary and southern Alberta through our world-renowned Stampede, year-round facilities, western events and several youth and agriculture programs. Exemplifying the theme We’re Greatest Together, we are a volunteer-supported, not-for-profit community organization that preserves and celebrates our western heritage, cultures and community spirit. All revenue is reinvested into Calgary Stampede programs and facilities. Our western hospitality and community spirit earned us the Waterstone Award for Canada’s Top 10 Admired Corporate Cultures in the Public Sector category for 2013 and Mediacorp Canada Inc announced the Calgary Stampede as one of Alberta’s Top 65 Employers.

A big thank you to ReNew for featuring the BMO Centre at Stampede Park and reflecting on the development, construction, and grand opening of the BMO Centre expansion. Adam Paulitsch, Principal Architect at Populous said it best when talking about the Grand Opening and the Building: “Convention centres are a big part of our business, but they don’t usually end [in a big celebration]. Normally we just turn over the keys after five years of work and, that’s it, you move on...[the Grand Opening of the BMO Centre] was ‘Wow!...But it was no surprise. We were working all these years with the people from the Stampede who are the biggest and best event planners in the world...The very look of the building embraces both the history and future of the Stampede."
