The Calgary Stampede in Canada's Alberta Province has been a tradition since 1912. The annual 10-day event features a rodeo, exhibition and festival. A parade kicks off the celebration with colorful floats, marching bands, and displays by First Nations groups, local cultural communities, and entrants from around the world. These scenes were likely filmed in 1968 (Color/Silent/Super 8mm film).
This sequence is from AAF-13896 of the Waymon Vest collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. For more information please contact the Alaska Film Archives.
