One of Canada's most recognized icons, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Musical Ride, will be performing in Banff, Alberta on Monday, July 26.

The troop of 32 horses and riders will perform a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music at the Banff High School Grounds located at 330 Banff Avenue. One show will take at 1:00 p.m. and a second show will take place at 6:00 p.m. 

“The RCMP musical ride last performed in Banff in 2003 and it was a huge success with locals and visitors alike so we are excited to welcome them back,” says Grant Canning, executive director, Banff Heritage Tourism. “Banff will be the only location in the Canadian Rockies hosting a performance as the musical ride tours throughout Canada this summer.”

The horses will be stabled at Warner Stables allowing for a procession down Banff Avenue before and after each show creating a wonderful photo opportunity.  The general public is able to view the horses and speak with the riders at the stables in between the shows on Monday, July 26 and during select times on Tuesday, July 27.
