In the spring and summer, Spruce Meadows features some of our indoor tournaments and all of our exciting outdoor tournaments. Beginning in June, the Summer Series Tournament season begins with five exciting weeks of international show jumping. From novice rider development to the Olympics, Spruce Meadows supports show jumping like no other facility in the world. Spruce Meadows is located on one of Calgary’s few remaining wetland areas- the Radio Tower Creek Environmental Reserve. Muskrats, ducks, geese and owls are just some of the many inhabitants of the wetland. The Real Canadian Superstore Playground and carousel is also located in the park like setting of Spruce Meadows. Visit the Spruce Meadows Shop for all of your riding, gifting or souvenir needs located in the Riding Hall. In the fall and winter, Spruce Meadows offers indoor tournaments in October and the International Christmas Market. Spruce Meadows, it’s yours to enjoy! Spruce Meadows is wholly owned and operated by the Southern family who built a Show Jumping complex at the foothills of the Alberta Rocky Mountains. It was in 1976 that the first Spruce Tournaments were held, with annual spectator attendances reaching over 50,000 by the end of the decade. Today, Spruce Meadows boasts one of the greatest outdoor equestrian venues in the world and offers an incredible experience for riders and fans alike.
