The Stampede Parade
If you want to become a real cowboy just for one day you’d better go to Calgary, Canada, in the middle of July. This is the time of the Great Stampede Parade or just Stampede for short. On the day of the parade most people of the city do special shopping and put on cowboy clothes: jeans, jeans shirts and jackets as well as cowboy belts, bandannas, high boots, stetson hats and vests. The Parade begins at 9 am. Crowds of people come to watch the Parade. A funny clown, riding a bike and doing tricks, starts the Parade. The clown is followed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) dressed in red uniforms. The Parade shows the history of exploring Canada. That is why people can see with their own eyes real cowboy carts, old carriages, shining fire machines, first autos, real Indians and a very big toy dragon. On the day of the Stampede Parade there is a great number of shows and concerts which take place in Stampede Park as well as all over the city. People are especially interested in the street orchestra competition. More than 100 orchestra bands participate in it. The groups are not only from Canada but also from many other countries of the world. At the end of the Parade a lot of funny clowns run into the streets throwing water at the public. There is a group of real cowboys who participate in rodeo, horse races, bull fights and many other competitions which last for a week. In fact, the Parade is only the beginning of Stampede Holiday. During the week a lot of competitions of all kinds take place in Stampede Park. All day long different actors, singers, dancers as well as orchestras do their best to make the public happy. Just go, watch and enjoy yourself! The week of Stampede Holiday is also the time of fantastic fireworks which people can see at midnight in the dark sky of Canada.
