Billed as the greatest outdoor show on earth. For part of July Calgary welcomes thousands of visitors to the Stampede. From the midway, to the rodeo, chuck wagon races, grandstand show and events it’s easy to see why it’s given this tagline
The Calgary Stampede is like an American county fair on steroids.  The chuck races are unlike anything I've ever experienced and very exciting.  This low-res photo with an old phone is from the pre-show.

Planning how long to go for? You could see key items (eg rodeo, chuck wagons & evening show) in a day. If time is not an issue, I would recommend two days. May want to consider more if midway rides and games are of interest.
