Ask a local where the big events happen and you'll get one answer: Evergreen Park, the sprawling grounds just south of the city off Highway 40.
The headliners
The Grande Prairie Stompede anchors early summer with pro rodeo and chuckwagon racing. Through the year the park hosts trade shows, agricultural events, races at the track, concerts and community festivals — there's rarely a dead month.
Visitor logistics
Check Evergreen Park's official calendar before your trip and book accommodation early for marquee weekends, when the whole city fills. Parking on-site is plentiful; ride-shares and cabs run from north-side hotels like ours in about 15 minutes.
Stay smart
Base at our hotel for free parking, a walkable dinner scene before or after events, and a hot breakfast to start show days right. See our Evergreen Park page for more.
