Ride Louder. Ride Later. IgNITE the Midway – New to the 2017 Calgary Stampede

Calgary – The Calgary Stampede is taking Sneak-a-Peek to the next level in 2017 with the addition of IgNITE. For one unforgettable evening, IgNITE gives you the Midway experience of a lifetime – watch the midway come alive with lights and fire, listen to top DJ’s blast beats all while sitting on the edge of your seats with an unlimited ride pass.

Beakerhead will be joining the party with interactive art exhibits, a roaming hippo art car and pyrotechnics – watch as cannons shoot 10-foot flames.

The Beat Drop stage will feature top DJs spinning on the Midway for the ultimate Stampede Kick-off experience.

“We wanted to expand Sneak-a-Peek this year and with that in mind, we created IgNITE,” says Samara Lastiwka, production manager at the Calgary Stampede. “In addition to unlimited rides, we’ve got a stacked lineup of DJs coming and they’re bringing their club vibes to the Stampede, for one night only,” adds Lastiwka.

Featured DJs include:

Smalltown DJs
DJ Heebz
DJ C-SIK
DJ PHNM
YUNG NINO
DJ SoniDEF
DJ GOODBAR.

Those looking to dance, ride and party the night away can purchase the IgNITE package for Thursday July 6, which includes park admission and a Ride All Night wristband that extends access to midway rides until 1 a.m.—an hour later than regular midway hours. Plus the first 10,000 people get an exclusive t-shirt — all for $32, plus applicable fees.
