Over the first four days of Stampede (July 2-5), The City of Calgary has received 70 noise complaints for various tents and events across the city. These include 40 noise complaints concerning Cowboys Music Festival (compared with 39 at this time in 2025) and 15 noise complaints originating from Badlands Music Festival (compared to six at this time in 2025). Other noise complaints include one for National Saloon, five for Whiskey Rose and one for Mexifest.
Community Safety Peace Officers are out each night taking noise readings from nearby residential locations. We’re pleased to report that every noise reading taken for Cowboys Music Festival has been below their allowable maximum decibel limit as prescribed in their Noise Exemption Permit.
After multiple warnings, a ticket was issued last night to event organizers at Badlands Music Festival tent for exceeding their allowable maximum decibel limit. That ticket is now under review. We strongly encourage event organizers to adjust decibel levels to comply with their noise exemption permit and to avoid escalating enforcement action.
