Calgary Stampede Centennial: Light Up The City

Light up the City is a city-wide fireworks show celebrating our Centennial. Five international-scale firework displays occur at the same time around the city, making it the largest and most sophisticated firework event ever produced in Canada.

All Calgarians have the opportunity to participate in this free, fun, family-friendly event.



Six Nights. Five Locations.

Light up the City will take place on both weekends of the Calgary Stampede - Friday, July 6; Saturday, July 7; Sunday, July 8; Friday, July 13; Saturday, July 14; and Sunday, July 15.

Fireworks will be set off from five locations across the city - Stampede Park, Elliston Park, North Glenmore Park, McCall Lake, and Winsport's Canada Olympic Park.

The 12-minute fireworks show will start between 11:00 and 11:30 pm and be synchronized to music. Tune into our media partners from Corus Entertainment - Country 105, Q107 or QR77 - to enjoy the show choreographed to music.
