10 Days of (FREE) Pancake Breakfasts During Stampede

 The Stampede Caravan Committee is the team of volunteers that puts on the famous Calgary Stampede breakfasts. These breakfasts have been part of the Calgary tradition for more than 85 years. The team get out early in the morning, rain or shine, to provide a Calgary welcome and a western pancake breakfast and entertainment. The best part, it’s free of charge to those who attend!

A Caravan Breakfast includes:

- Flapjacks, sausage, juice and all the trimmings

- Native hoop dancing demonstration

- Visits from the Stampede Queen & Princesses, Rodeo cowboys, mascots and visiting dignitaries

That’s right folks, the countdown is on and we are one day out from Calgary’s biggest claim to fame and what many would argue is the best time of the year. While some people dread the crowds and flannel that come with the season, there is one thing we think that everyone can agree on and it’s that food tastes better when its free, and pancakes are just better during Stampede! 

For all your free flapjack needs, we have put together a comprehensive list of all the big, small, fancy, informal, gluten free and gluten full breakfasts across the city. If you plan it right, you can score free breakfast (and maybe even lunch) for 10 days straight! Put on your stretchy jeans and treat yourself to one of these super delicious, super free Stampede Breakfasts around the city!
