One of the best parts about the Stampede is the way that the attitude of the whole city shifts for 10 days. Even the best-dressed folks of corporate downtown shed their suits and ties and don jeans, cowboy boots, bolo ties and even cowboy hats. It’s a rich tradition that brings the city together and defines it as a unifying cultural experience.
