Now, it brings in thousands of people to the grounds in the city’s southeast end every year.

Like years past, the Stampede will feature a professional rodeo, several grandstand night shows and fireworks, among many other activities and various entertainment options.

Free pancake breakfasts are back and taking place throughout the week. Also, the parade returns on Thursday morning downtown Medicine Hat.
