Monster Jam is rolling into Calgary's GMC Stadium for a three-day run from September 11 to 13, with 12,000-pound trucks, world-class drivers, and gravity-defying stunts on the schedule.
The weekend features three competitions — racing, two-wheel skills, and freestyle — with fans scoring drivers in real time to help crown the event champion. Freestyle is the highlight for many, where drivers push their trucks to the limit with backflips, vertical two-wheel tricks, and big air jumps that seem to defy the laws of physics.
The truck lineup includes crowd favourites like Grave Digger, driven by Weston Anderson, and El Toro Loco, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and driven by MJ Solorio. Also on the roster are Sparkle Smash, Earth Shaker, ThunderROARus, Jurassic Attack, and Velociraptor. New to Calgary is Bailey Circuit, a Monster Jam truck inspired by a robotic dog, driven by Brianna Mahon — built, according to the organizers, to chase thrills and fetch fun.
Friday's event kicks off at 7:00 p.m., while Saturday and Sunday shows start at 3:00 p.m. On both weekend days, the Monster Jam Pit Party runs from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m., offering fans a chance to meet drivers, get autographs, and get an up-close look at how the trucks are built to withstand the competition.
