Thousands of people donned their raincoats and plastic ponchos and stood in the rainy streets of downtown Calgary on Friday for the 2019 Stampede Parade.

The parade, which signals the official kickoff to the Calgary Stampede, featured more than 100 western-themed entries with dozens of marching bands, 32 floats and 200 horses.

Weather forced officials with the Calgary Stampede to make a few logistical changes to the staging area for the parade, but the event went ahead despite the rain.
