Less than a month before the Calgary Stampede , Mayor Jeromy Farkas expressed his desire to disclose more details about the agreement that secured the Cowboys Music Festival 's home, Cowboys Park , west of downtown.
He believes that the previous city council's sponsorship deal with Penny Lane Entertainment did not properly balance public access and transparency. Despite being bound to the terms of the agreement, Farkas plans to disclose the 'lion's share' of it to the public. Cowboys Park, which houses the country's largest outdoor skatepark, has been the home of the festival since 2025.
The festival runs from July 2 to 12 this year and brings thousands of concertgoers to the west end of downtown Calgary. Penny Lane, the owner of the festival and Cowboys Dance Hall, moved the event to the former Shaw Millennium Park last summer. Local skateboarders faced challenges accessing the park during last summer's festival setup, but the city plans to reopen it as quickly as possible after the festival ends.
Cowboys accounted for most noise complaints during last year's Stampede, with 126 total service requests, including three confirmed noise violations. The city staff earlier this year announced changes to noise exemptions at the Calgary Stampede, with a midnight deadline for noise-related service requests most nights, and earlier hours on Friday and Saturday compared to last year
