There are hundreds of options for a free pancake breakfast on the diamond anniversary of the Stampede’s most iconic food staple
This year marks the diamond anniversary of the Calgary Stampede’s most iconic food staple, the pancake breakfast.
With a tradition now formed, the late 1920s saw a plethora of chuckwagons setting up on the downtown strip. As the Stampede headed into the mid-twentieth century, ham, bacon and eggs were served as well. It was pretty rare to see any sort of cultural diversity in the organizing bodies of the breakfasts until the 1980s, a decade where Calgary’s population was also becoming more diverse. Even some of the first queer spaces in Calgary such as Trax Nightclub were hosting a yearly pancake breakfast for its regulars.
