Calgary Stampede lassoed record revenues last year , flipping expectations of a $5-million loss into a nearly identical amount of black ink.

An all-time best attendance figure of 1.47-million people during the 10-day July hoedown garnered $206.4 million for the exhibition, another record and a 33 per cent increase over 2023 .

Organizers typically figure in two rain days into their annual budget forecasts but last year’s western celebration had none.
