Grand Prairie Stompede Tickets

The Grand Prairie Stompede is a cornerstone of Alberta’s western heritage, held annually in Evergreen Park, Grande Prairie. Since its inception in 1977 as the Grande Prairie Chuckwagon Stompede, this not-for-profit festival has grown into a five-day celebration featuring WPCA chuckwagon racing, professional rodeo, an expansive midway, and engaging infield entertainment. Run by the Grande Prairie Stompede Association, a dedicated group of volunteers, the event draws tens of thousands of spectators from across the region and beyond.

Plan your visit to the 2025 edition, where the festival runs May 28–June 1, with a Slack Day on May 28 and performances May 29–31, culminating in a final day on June 1. If you’re seeking a family-friendly Western experience with authentic prairie charm, the Stompede delivers with grounds passes that often include the grounds fee, and free admission for kids 4 and under for rodeo and chuckwagon events.
