Ponoka Stampede returns next week with new Showdown Dance Hall
The Ponoka Stampede is fast approaching and attendees can expect to see an entirely new stage set up.
Held at the Ponoka Stampede grounds (5616 39 Ave.) from Monday, June 26 to Sunday, July 2, guests can get ready to watch 14 different rodeo spectacles from bareback riding to team roping, alongside other features like a tradeshow, live music performances, a parade, and more.
“We’re looking forward to it. We got a great show planned and we want to see everybody out and everybody having fun. We can’t wait to get started,” said Jason Cline, President of the Ponoka Stampede Association.
Cline says this year’s show is bigger and better than last year, with the most noticeable addition of a new 11,000 square foot facility called the Showdown Dance Hall near the middle of the grounds where the Beer Gardens and entertainment will be held.
