Costner has attended the Calgary Stampede in the past and has also filmed near the city, for both “Open Range” and “Let Him Go”.
“I just wanted to tell you how nice it was to be selected as parade marshal,” Costner said in a news release.
“You don’t see those kind of things coming. I have a lot of fond memories of being in Calgary. It has made a big difference to me in my life to make ‘Open Range’ and ‘Let Him Go’ there. It’s one of the most beautiful spots and the world focuses on Calgary and the parade, which started a long time ago in celebration of western heritage.”
“On July 8, I’ll be there and I’m really honoured to be a part of what you have done for so long and carry on a tradition. See you at the parade.”
Costner is also a musician. His country-rock band Kevin Costner & Modern West will perform at The Big Four Roadhouse on Friday, July 8.
“We are excited to welcome Kevin Costner to help kick off the return of the Calgary Stampede Parade on Friday, July 8,” said Steve McDonough, president and chairman of the Calgary Stampede board.
