Stampede Park lots are paid through Calgary Parking: the MyParking app, a guest payment at vpm.parkplus.ca or the on-site pay machines, according to the Calgary Stampede. Calgary Parking lists Lot 62 as ParkPlus zone 9062, and the Saddledome publishes a map of pay machine locations and zone numbers for the arena lots.

Event weeks: Grey Cup Festival and the Calgary Stampede

Grey Cup Festival, November 2026

The Grey Cup Festival FAQ also lists November 11 to 14 2026, with all festival events at Stampede Park. The FAQ states: “There is no public parking at either the Festival site (Stampede Park) or the game (McMahon Stadium)”, and asks fans to plan for public transit or ride share. The 113th Grey Cup is on November 15 2026 at McMahon Stadium, outside Victoria Park. Events, prices and getting there are on Grey Cup Festival at Stampede Park.

Calgary Stampede, July 9 to 18 2027

The Calgary Stampede says 2027 parking details will be available in spring 2027; Calgary Parking says its 2027 details will come closer to the date. In 2025, day-use public parking on the grounds cost $30 per entry, according to the Stampede’s 2025 Know Before You Go page. The Stampede’s current page lists rideshare zones (Uber is named as its official partner) and taxi zones on the edges of the park, and does not say whether they operate outside Stampede time.
