Big news for festival lovers! A popular outdoor venue is getting a new life and will soon be the home of a major Stampede staple.
According to the City of Calgary, the inner city spot, previously known as Millennium Park, has been renamed to honour a 10-year naming and sponsorship agreement with Cowboy’s Dancehall.
Aptly called Cowboys Park, the popular space will begin hosting its Stampede adjacent music festival starting in 2025 and will help “revitalize the area.”
“As a local business, Cowboys has proudly operated in Calgary for 28 years,” the city wrote.
“Cowboys Dance Hall and Cowboys Music Festival have hosted guests from around the globe and showcased local, national and international world-renowned artists – across all genres – on the Cowboys Stage.”
