Falkland Stampede is ‘back in the saddle’
FALKLAND, B.C. — The population of Falkland will grow this long weekend as the small community bounces back from the pandemic.
The 102nd Falkland Stampede will be held from Saturday to Monday (May 21 to 23) at the rodeo grounds just off Highway 97 between Vernon and Kamloops.
The last two years of rodeo were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The three-day event features bronc riding, bull riding, barrel racing, trick riders and professional rodeo clown Dennis Halstead.

Ticket prices range from $13.75 to $54.06.
