Stampede Club Crawl
What better way to celebrate Calgary than joining in with an estimated 5000 people on a alcohol fuelled crawl across the city, whilst visiting some of its finest bars?! Often referred to as the cowboy crawl, it’s a fun and rowdy night. If you can still remember it in the morning it’ll be a night you’ll never forget!
Dates: July 8th – 16th 2016
