Calgary Stampede Sees 30% Uptick In Noise Complaints In 2026

As of Thursday morning (July 9), the Calgary city has logged 186 noise complaints related to outdoor music tents and events. The Cowboys Music Festival has reached the same number of complaints as it did during the entire festival last year, with three days left to go.

The Calgary Stampede continues to buzz throughout the city, and so does the ongoing controversy around noise curfews.

The famed rodeo, exhibition and outdoor festival is receiving a higher number of noise compared to last year, with the city logging 186 noise complaints related to its outdoor music tents and events as of Thursday morning (July 9), a 30% increase according to Livewire Calgary. The complaints follow a period of controversy following noise reduction bylaws and curfews that were imposed on the Stampede's outdoor music tents and other festivals in Calgary, just weeks before they were scheduled to begin.
