The Grey Cup Festival is more than a game. It's where traditions are shared, friendships are made, and everyone belongs. For a week straight, fans will unite from coast to coast, new memories will be made, and the nation will come together to celebrate what makes our game – and our country – so special.
Join in Calgary for the biggest event in the country and welcome Canada to an epic party! There will be amazing events all week long at the Grey Cup Festival, no matter if you are a lifelong fan or newcomer there will be something for you! Saddle up! The countdown is on, the country's gearing up, and this rodeo's just getting started!
This isn't our first rodeo! Calgary has proudly hosted the Grey Cup five times before, marking the 113th Grey Cup our sixth. The story of Calgary fans shaping the Grey Cup Festival into the iconic celebration it is today dates back to 1948, when spirited Stampeders fans traveled to Toronto aboard the legendary "Stampeder Special"—a 14-car train carrying a dozen horses, chuckwagon, dance floor, bar, diner, and more than 250 western-dressed fans. After three days of nonstop partying, they arrived in Toronto and continued to celebrate with parades, fiddlers, square dancing, pancake breakfasts, and created the unforgettable moment of riding a horse through the Royal York Hotel lobby.
That passion for the festival and community is still alive today. For the Cenovus Energy 2026 Grey Cup Festival in Calgary, everyone is invited to experience our deep-rooted passion for the event. Together, we’ll create more unforgettable moments and leave a lasting impact on all attendees and the city!
