Downtown Calgary parking during Stampede
Hotels fill up, surface lots hike their rates, and the whole core shifts into Stampede mode for ten days. If your hotel doesn't include parking — or charges event pricing — clicknpark gives you reservable spots across downtown at a confirmed price, hourly, daily or for your whole stay. Use code CALG5 in the app for $5 off any booking of $20 or more.
