‘Bold, fun and irresistible’: 2026 Calgary Stampede food lineup released
Organizers say exhibitors spent months creating the novelty items, including Pickle Pizza, Ramen doughnuts and gluten-free Deep Fried Oreos.
On Thursday, Calgary Stampede organizers unveiled close to 70 'wild and wacky' new food items for this year's event, which runs from July 3 to 12.
Stampede midway manager Ashley Warner said exhibitors spend months developing exclusive dishes, delivering "outrageously bold, fun and irresistible creations" for guests.
Featured savory entrees include Loosy Moosy Pizza, Butter Chicken Tacos, and Charcoal Fish Burgers; Pickle Pizza features creamy dill sauce, melted mozzarella, and crunchy dill pickles.
The menu also offers Brazilian Whipped Limeade, a Coke Caesar, and Big Buckin Lemonade for beverages, alongside Macha Deep Fried Oreos and Ramen Donuts filled with cheese.
Organizers noted the lineup may seem less daunting than last year's mopane worm poutine, with the full list available on the Calgary Stampede website.
