Calgary Dance Stampede
April 27-29, 2012Voted 2011 "Favorite North American Event"
Greetings!  

We are only a few days away from opening the doors to the 21st Annual Calgary Dance Stampede. All the final adjustments are being made to make your experience with us memorable !!

  

When coming down to the Hyatt Regency in downtown Calgary there is always the question of where to park and how much ??

  

PLEASE READ :-)

  

Option One;

Parking in the underground heated parking garage located under the Hyatt Regency (Space is limited). We have worked out a special event rate of ONLY $15 CAD/day. That's $10 off their regular Self Parking rate of $25/day. This offer is ONLY for Calgary Dance Stampede event attendees.

 

Option 2;
 
Park at the TELUS Convention Centre.  (7th Avenue & 1 Street SE). 

 

Daytime Mon-Fri (06:00 - 18:00)

$3.25 per ½ hr or portion, to MAX of $22.00

 

Daytime Sat, Sun & Holidays (06:00 - 18:00)

$1.50 per ½ hr or portion to MAX of $5.00

 

Evenings everyday (18:00 - 06:00)

$1.50 per ½ hr or portion, to MAX of $4.00

 

**Enter after 16:00 Mon-Fri for evening rates:

$1.50 per ½ hr or portion, to MAX of $4.00

 

The advantage to the Telus Convention Centre is that it is connected to the Hyatt through the +15 until 10:00pm each night. AFTER that, there is a connecting link through the Hyatt's P1 Parkade level so you never have to walk outside.

 

In addition to all of that ... NO MATTER WHERE YOU PARK ... if you stay late and enjoy yourself at one of our fantastic dances and do not want to walk to your car alone, then please stop by the EVENT REGISTRATION DESK and one of our Event Staff will be happy to walk with you.
