CF Chinook Centre Aims for World Record at 65th Annual Stampede Pancake Breakfast
This year the shopping centre is attempting to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for Most Pancakes Served
CALGARY, AB, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Celebrating 65 years of its cherished community event, CF Chinook Centre's Stampede Breakfast returns on Saturday, July 5th, with an ambitious goal: to secure the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for Most Pancakes Served!
More than 25,000 visitors are expected at this rain-or-shine, first-come, first-served event to enjoy a complimentary pancake breakfast with all the fixings, alongside live entertainment, family-friendly activities including the Kiddie Corral, as well as an outdoor retail market. Performances include Madeline Merlo, Tony Stevens, Nolan Compton, and Haley Isabel, with Emcees Jimmy and Jodi Hughes guiding guests through the morning, and in-centre entertainment featuring the Chinook Club Line Dancers.
To elevate the festivities, CF Chinook Centre is hosting a high-energy Pancake Stacking Contest on Friday, July 4th. Teams featuring notable Calgarians will race to stack 65 pancakes, with a fun twist – a "Wheel of Disadvantage" introducing challenges like stacking with oven mitts or one-handed. The winning team will receive a $2,000 donation to a charity of their choice.
Special Retail Promotions
Calgarians are invited to get rodeo ready by exploring CF Chinook Centre's 2025 Stampede Lookbook for curated styles from retailers, featuring themes like Prairie Princess, Cowgirl Chic, Lil' Wrangler, and Rodeo Rider. Plus, guests can enhance their Stampede experience with a CF SHOP! Card bonus offer from July 4 to 14 (while quantities last). Click here for full offer terms.
This event is made possible by generous sponsors including PHI Studio, Kal-Tire, PCL Construction, Marble Slab and A&W, in addition to all pancake station participants, with proceeds benefiting Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
