Nashville North, Calgary’s Original Country Music Party Is Back Bigger Than Ever

Nashville North is back, bigger and better than ever for Stampede 2025. New artists, expanded capacity and new ways to party. From July 3 to 13, the original Stampede party tent will deliver the best live country music party in the city—all included with admission to Stampede Park.

Just steps from the bulls, and a rope throw from the barns, stands Nashville North. It’s Calgary’s most authentic spot for the best mix of live country music, where guests can go from rodeo to rowdy without leaving Stampede Park.

“Nashville North is Calgary’s centre of country at a time when everyone’s a country music fan,” says Meghan Kivisto, Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Programming at the Calgary Stampede. “Unforgettable performances in an unbeatable atmosphere is our promise and we’re excited to kick every afternoon off with award-winning artists and rising stars—in the party tent that started it all.”

For ten days in July, Calgary has become one of Canada’s greatest music festivals with music pulsing through every corner of the city. From pop-up performances and street artists to buzzing venues and festival hubs, Calgary comes alive with Stampede Spirit across stages, streets and squares. With over 100 acts across four stages, the Calgary Stampede is the heart of the celebration.
