It’s that time of year again. Whenever July rolls around, it’s only a matter of time before the cowboy hats, country tunes and pancake breakfasts invade the city of Calgary in full force. While the rodeos and rides are staples of the Calgary Stampede we know and love, we’ve stepped outside the fairgrounds and found a few unofficial Stampede events that are guaranteed to offer a ridiculously good time! (Plaid shirts and cowboy boots are optional.) No Wimpy Wines Stampede BBQ Believe it or not, it’s not only about the beer at the Stampede. On July 11, Willow Park Wines is hosting an afternoon of barbecue goodness paired with “unwimpy wines” that could stand toe-to-toe with the manliest of brews. Calgary’s HolySmoke BBQ kings will be grilling up a storm from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., so come with an empty stomach and be prepared to get your grub on. Psst…entrance is free with a $10 donation to Willow Park’s Vintage Fund, which sponsors several charities in Alberta. Drink up and do some good!
