She’s still the one: Shania Twain named 2025 Calgary Stampede parade marshal

By Mackenzie Rhode | Calgary Herald | March 26, 2025

Canadian country music star Shania Twain has been named as the 2025 Calgary Stampede Parade Marshal.

“With just 100 days until the Parade rolls through the streets of downtown Calgary, there’s no better way to mark the occasion than by welcoming Shania Twain as our 2025 Parade Marshal,” said Stuart O’Connor, President & Chair of the Board at the Calgary Stampede in a news release.

“As a Canadian icon who has captivated audiences worldwide, Shania embodies the grit, passion and celebration that defines the Stampede. We can’t wait to see her lead the Parade and share this unforgettable moment with our community, as well as visitors and viewers from around the world.”

Twain, known for hits such as Man! I Feel Like A Woman and Any Man Of Mine, is a globally-celebrated singer and songwriter, and five-time Grammy winner. The country-music superstar has sold over 100 million records worldwide and is recognized as one of the best-selling music artists in history.

The musician will also be performing at the Saddledome during Stampede, with her show scheduled for Saturday, July 5. She last performed at Stampede in 2014.

“The city of Calgary and the province of Alberta have always held a very special place in my heart,” said Twain in the Calgary Stampede Parade Marshal announcement.

“The Calgary Stampede is an amazing celebration of Western heritage and culture and embodies the true spirit of Calgarians and Canadians. I look forward to being part of it again, not only playing at the Saddledome on the first Saturday of Stampede, but also on horseback riding through the streets of downtown Calgary.”

Each year, the Stampede selects an individual who exemplifies the values of the Stampede to lead the parade. Past marshals have included others in the entertainment industry, as well as Olympians, astronauts, mountain climbers and cancer survivors.

The Calgary Stampede Parade begins at 9 a.m. on Friday, July 4, with the prelude beginning at 7:30 a.m. Following the Parade, guests are invited to visit Stampede Park with free admission from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth runs July 4 to 13, celebrating the people, animals, land, traditions and values of the west.

By Cassandra Stefanic | Curiocity | May 14, 2025

There’s only one way to celebrate the return of The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, and you won’t want to miss it!

This Summer, kick off the year’s biggest event at the Calgary Stampede Parade, a wild western event presented by Suncor and led by Canadian Royalty.

What to expect during the parade

Can’t wait to hit the streets? Neither can we, especially because a country legend will be joining an already epic list of parade marshals.

From Prince Charles to Walt Disney, Calgary’s summertime spectacle has seen some impressive people at the front of the procession, and 2025 will go down in herstory.

This year, you’ll want to get a front-row seat because Stampede performer and musical icon, Shania Twain, will lead a very colourful march into 10 exciting days.

“The city of Calgary and the province of Alberta have always held a very special place in my heart,” Twain said in a press release.

”The Calgary Stampede is an amazing celebration of Western heritage and culture and embodies the true spirit of Calgarians and Canadians. I look forward to being part of it again, not only playing at the Saddledome on the first Saturday of Stampede, but also on horseback riding through the streets of downtown Calgary.”

Behind her, attendees can expect to see horses, bands, performers, and floats, but you’ll have to plan ahead.

Like so many before it, the Parade will begin bright and early.

When is the 2025 Stampede Parade?

Set to rule Calgary’s inner city on July 4, 2025, your fun-filled day will begin at 9 a.m., with the prelude beginning at 7:30 a.m.

If you don’t want the party on Friday to end, you can also head to the grounds and get FREE admission to the midway between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
