More than 50 Calgary Stampede Pancake Breakfasts take place during the 10-day event, and they all offer something different.
Every year there are so many pancake breakfasts all over town. There are all kinds of pancake breakfasts, from free for families to tickets with a wild party vibe.
Many breakfasts also stand out for offering something a little different from the standard pancakes and coffee.
Here are 12 unique breakfasts at this year’s Calgary Stampede that you definitely won’t want to miss.
