30X Saloon Experience
We are open.
30X Saloon opens daily from 11:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. for the Stampede Rodeo at 1:30 pm and 6:00 p.m. - midnight for the Evening Show starting at 8:00 pm.
The Evening Show has been re-imagined.
*NEW As a result of pandemic-related impacts on the 2020 and 2021 chuckwagon racing season across western Canada, the Stampede will not be able to present the Rangeland Derby as part of the 2021 Evening Show.
For 2021 only, the Calgary Stampede has re-imagined this double-header. Broncs After Dark will be a combination of grit, glamour, live music and celebration. Cheer on talented athletes as they compete in some of the greatest high-energy western competitions and electrifying rodeo events ever seen at the Stampede. Then as the sun sets, the Bell Grandstand Show will follow with The Young Canadians and adrenaline-filled performances that lead to a spectacular fireworks finale.
We look forward to the return of thunder and thrill of chuckwagon racing in 2022.
DINING
It is up to the eventholder to choose a premium or beer and wine only host bar for their guests and advise of allergy and dietary considerations in advance on an event order form.
*NEW As guests arrive the server explains the dining experience and shows guests where to find the QR code for drinks and wine. Guests are served a table-side salad and artisan bun to start their culinary experience. Tables are invited by their server to the chef-served buffet to enjoy a signature culinary experience including carved and grilled choices, an induction pot and gourmet side dishes. Desserts in single servings are set before guests are escorted to their reserved seats in the Grandstand either by their server or Guest Service.
The server continues with in-seat beverage service for the duration of the Stampede Rodeo or Evening Show. Individual packaged snacks are available throughout the performances.
An on-site event host must be assigned as our point of contact, be responsible for event guests and who will have authorization to make additions and changes to the event order form.
At the conclusion of the event a bill including alcoholic beverages, mocktails and special bar requests will be presented to the event host and a signature will be required to sign-off on the amount. All beverage choices not included with a ticket are billed separately after the event to the eventholder, according to the corporate account.
SERVICE STYLE
Servers are responsible for the guest’s experience throughout their semi-private or private event. Bartenders prepare drinks and there are support staff to assist in ensuring a seamless service.
