Stampedes Tastiest Event - 3RD ANNUAL STAMPEDE CHEF SHOWDOWN

The Ultimate Culinary Rodeo

This isn’t your average food event. It’s a high-energy culinary showdown where six of Calgary’s top chefs go head-to-head, each presenting a Stampede-inspired dish that’s as creative as it is crave-worthy. Think bold BBQ, elevated cowboy fare, and all the local flair you love—served with a side of friendly competition.

Good Food, Great Vibes

As you make your way through all six mouthwatering creations, enjoy signature Stampede cocktails, live music, and the unbeatable atmosphere of The District in full celebration mode. Whether you're there for the food, the fun, or the people-watching, you won’t leave disappointed (or hungry).

You Be the Judge

Not only will an expert panel of judges crown the official Stampede Chef Champion, but you get to cast your vote for the coveted People’s Choice Award. That’s right—you help decide which chef gets the glory (and bragging rights) for the year.

Perfect for Everyone
