Big Four Building events — Calgary, Alberta

Discover the Historic Big Four Building Venue

The Big Four Building is more than a multi-purpose venue — it’s a historic-meets-modern hub that anchors the energy of the Calgary Stampede Grounds. Set in downtown Calgary, Big Four Building events range from concerts and live entertainment to exhibitions, conventions, and private gatherings, making it a year-round destination for unforgettable experiences.

Inside this historic structure — named for the four businessmen who helped found the Calgary Stampede — you’ll find The Big Four Roadhouse on the upper level, a contemporary live entertainment space with a built-in stage, multiple bars, and in-house sound and lighting. Once home to the largest curling rink in the world, the building’s storied past adds character and context to its versatile, modern production capabilities.

Programming at the venue is as flexible as the space itself: concerts and live entertainment share the calendar with major exhibitions and conventions, especially during the Calgary Stampede. While resident teams aren’t part of its identity, the building’s legacy stems from decades of hosting signature Calgary events and gatherings tied to the Stampede Grounds.

The Big Four Roadhouse elevates shows with convenient amenities — think multiple bar options, venue-managed sound and lighting, and an adaptable stage setup — to deliver a polished fan experience whether you’re attending a full-throttle concert, a ticketed showcase, or a private event. Flexible configurations support general admission, reserved seating, and mixed layouts, so production can match the vibe of the night.

From historic roots to contemporary production, the Big Four Building offers a compelling backdrop for entertainment. If you love the buzz of Calgary’s live scene and want easy access in the heart of the city, this venue consistently delivers.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Big Four Building

1410 Olympic Way SE

Calgary, Alberta T2G 2W1

Located on the Calgary Stampede Grounds in downtown Calgary, the venue is easy to reach from neighborhoods across the city and surrounding areas.

• Parking: On-site parking is available at the Stampede Grounds; rates and availability vary by event and time.
• Public Transit: The Victoria Park/Stampede CTrain station is nearby, offering quick access via Calgary Transit.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available at the Stampede Grounds for large events.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime, especially for sold-out nights or major exhibitions. Early arrival helps you beat parking bottlenecks, ease through security, and settle in with a drink before the lights go down.

The venue is indoors, so weather usually isn’t a factor for your experience once you’re inside. That said, Calgary weather can change quickly — if you’re walking from nearby lots or the CTrain, dress for the elements and give yourself extra time if conditions are snowy or icy.

If you’re using public transit, the Victoria Park/Stampede station is your fastest option. Rideshare can be convenient after the show; check in-app wayfinding for designated zones on the Stampede Grounds. Expect heavier foot traffic during the Calgary Stampede and plan a group meeting point in advance.

Venue Navigation

The Big Four Roadhouse level is designed for streamlined flow — the built-in stage anchors the performance area, with multiple bars positioned to help reduce lines and keep you close to the action. Because configurations change by event, ushers or posted signs will guide you to GA entry points or reserved sections.

You’ll find concessions and bars within The Big Four Roadhouse, merchandise available for select shows, and ATMs elsewhere on the Stampede Grounds. Restrooms are accessible from the main concourses. Comfortable footwear is a smart move, especially if you’ll be standing for a GA show or walking from parking and transit.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Policies may vary by event at the Stampede Grounds. Expect size limitations; review your event’s official guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Standard venue restrictions typically apply (e.g., weapons, outside food and drink). Check event details for specifics.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• If you’re driving, confirm your parking lot and route on the Stampede Grounds map to avoid delays.
• Taking transit? Use the Victoria Park/Stampede CTrain station and follow signage to the Big Four Building.

Pre-Event Planning

Arrive early to explore the Stampede Grounds — during the Calgary Stampede, you may find special displays and lively activations that add to the pre-show buzz. It’s an easy way to soak in the atmosphere before you head upstairs to The Big Four Roadhouse.

If you’re attending with a group, coordinate a meeting spot inside the building — near a specific bar or a clearly marked entrance to the performance area — so you can reconnect quickly after grabbing drinks or merchandise. For seated or mixed-layout shows, reviewing the Big Four Building seating chart in advance helps your group choose a shared section or row.

Finally, plan your post-show route. Rideshare zones can get busy after major events; consider a short walk to a less congested pickup area or hop on the nearby CTrain for a swift exit.

Accessibility

Big Four Building is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking available on the Stampede Grounds and accessible routes into the venue. Elevators and ramps support mobility needs within the building, including access to The Big Four Roadhouse level.
