One of Canada's most coveted rodeo royalty titles will soon be bestowed.
The 2025 Calgary Stampede Princess is set to be crowned on Wednesday, Nov. 13. Before that happens, the competition's three finalists will show the public their skills on Saturday, Nov. 9 in Okotoks.
The three contestants — Breanna Correia, Sarah O’Brien and Téa Di Lillo — will demonstrate their equestrian and public speaking skills, performances that will contribute to their final scoring.
O'Brien and Di Lillo have served as part of the Calgary Stampede Showriders, while Correia held the title of 2020 Cochrane Lions Rodeo Queen.
The Calgary Stampede Princess will attend hundreds of community events as an ambassador of the Calgary Stampede to share and celebrate the event’s Western heritage, culture and community spirit in Calgary, across the province and around the world.
In addition to the competition, 2024 Calgary Stampede Princess Brooke Fielding will bid farewell to the Stampede community and undergo her last ride as royalty.
The event is being held on Nov. 9 at noon in the Trains Landscaping Agriplex, located in the Okotoks Agricultural Society, and is open to all ages.
