Indigenous Artisan Market
The Stampede also hosts an Indigenous Artisan Market alongside Indian Relay Racing in the Grandstand Ballroom. This free market features hand crafted goods from local Indigenous vendors, opening a few hours before the races begin and remaining open during the event.
North America’s original extreme sport
Indian Relay Racing tasks teams of riders with racing around our track and switching out horses every lap. Teams in this newly formed circuit will compete to qualify for a spot at next summer’s Calgary Stampede.
This event is organized in collaboration with Travel Alberta and Indigenous leaders and experts to ensure the essence of Indian Relay Racing is respected and preserved. It is a celebration of North American Indigenous culture, and it’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
Thank you to everyone who helps make this event such an unforgettable success!
