The Calgary Stampede parade officially kicks off the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth on Friday but Stampede goers can get in for an early look when the gates to the grounds open Thursday evening for Sneak-a-Peek.

Sneak-a-Peek gets underway down at the grounds at 5 p.m. and admission is $8.

The midway is open until midnight and indoor attractions and commercial exhibits are open until 11:00 p.m.
