Grande Prairie Stompede

The Grande Prairie Stompede is one of the region’s most iconic annual events—an action-packed celebration of rodeo culture, community spirit, and Peace Country tradition. Powered by a passionate volunteer committee, this not-for-profit organization has thrilled audiences for decades, drawing more than 30,000 spectators each spring to Evergreen Park. As the first stop of the year for chuckwagon racing and the kick-off event of the outdoor pro rodeo season, the Stompede sets the stage for world-class competition and unforgettable entertainment. Beyond the arena, the Stompede plays a vital role in supporting the community. All proceeds are reinvested locally, contributing thousands of dollars over the years to enhancements and projects at Evergreen Park. The event also provides an important platform for local chuckwagon drivers and rodeo athletes to compete on home turf, inspiring the next generation to carry on these deeply rooted traditions. Energetic, community-driven, and proudly Peace Country, the Grande Prairie Stompede continues to be a highlight of the regional events calendar and a celebration of western heritage that brings people together year after year.
