FRIDAY, JULY 4TH 2025

DEANE HOUSE | 5:00-11:00 PM

Saddle up for the 3rd Annual Ace High Stampede Kickoff!

Get ready for the ultimate start to the Calgary Stampede on Friday, July 5! A portion of every ticket sold and all donations received will directly benefit the Trellis Society, supporting vital community initiatives.

Ace High Stampede Kickoff began as a way to give back when in 2017 Shawn Freeman, the founder said “if we’re going to have a party, we’re raising money for a charity” and Trellis (Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary at the time) was the obvious choice given that he was a club kid growing up.

In 2024 we raise $100,000 which brings the total raised since inception to $224,428

This year, we’re thrilled to announce that Maillot Homes will generously enhance your impact by matching the net proceeds up to $50,000! This remarkable partnership doubles our collective efforts, enabling us to make a profound difference in the lives of those in need in our community. Join us in making this event not only a celebration but a powerful force for good in our community.

Don’t miss out—a limited quantity of Early Bird tickets available until June 1, 2024!
Secure your tickets now!

Here’s what your ticket includes:

  • Kick off the evening with a welcome glass of sparkling wine
  • Enjoy a full array of food and beverages all night, including sophisticated canapés and an exclusive Oyster Bar
  • Dance and stomp along to lively performances from two live bands
  • Network and connect with VIP guests from the business community

This year, get ready for a show-stopping experience as we feature two fantastic bands poised to light up the stage with their electrifying performances! 

The Hello Darlins, an acclaimed collective of seasoned musicians known for their unique blend of Americana, country and blues, will be showcasing their talents.

As individuals, these musicians have backed some of the biggest names in Canadian music, and now, coming together as The Hello Darlins, they offer a powerful and unique sound that is a testament to their collective experience and dedication.  Their refined performance level is a testament to a lifetime dedicated to their craft.

Following The Hello Darlins on stage will be Side One, a vibrant dance party band known for their dynamic and energetic performances.

Together, these bands will deliver an exhilarating live music experience that promises to be the highlight of our event. Expect a night filled with captivating melodies and rhythms that will keep you dancing and engaged throughout the evening.
