The 2026 edition of the WJ Signature Stampede Bandana has officially arrived, and we're excited to see it out and about all across Stampede once again.
Designed by our longtime illustrator, Maria Dagh, this year's bandana features original artwork inspired by Calgary, its landscapes, and the unmistakable energy of Stampede.
"This bandana was designed to feel both collectible and illustrative, something that could be framed just as easily as it could be worn," says Maria. "Using WJ's bold line illustration and layered storytelling style, the artwork captures the spirit, spectacle, and iconic moments of Stampede through one richly detailed composition."
Over the years, our annual bandanas have become something of a collector's item, and it's always a thrill to spot past editions being worn throughout the city each Stampede season.
If you're a WJ client, you'll receive a 2026 bandana as part of this year's Stampede celebrations. And if you spot the WJ team out and about during Stampede, come say hello. We'll have a limited number of bandanas with us to hand out while supplies last.
If you pick one up, be sure to snap a photo, share it on social media, and tag us. Whether you're sporting the 2026 edition or showing off one from years past, you'll be entered into our July 13 prize draw.
Two winners will receive a bottle of wine and a marketing book, while one grand prize winner will take home a WJ Marketing Workshop to help lasso their next big opportunity.
Happy Stampede, and we'll see you out on the trail!
