The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride will entertain fairgoers at the Queen City Ex!

In partnership with the RCMP Heritage Centre, QCX, welcomes one of Canada's most recognized icons, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Musical Ride

July 31, August 1st and 2nd at the Brandt Centre
 Show times are 1:30pm and 6:30pm

The RCMP Musical Ride represents a colourful Canadian tradition. The troop of 32 horses and riders will perform a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music. Working through a unique medium, they support RCMP community policing efforts throughout Canada.

The Musical Ride was developed in 1876 by early members of the North-West Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain the local community. It has evolved over the decades into a uniquely Canadian performance enjoyed by tens of thousands of spectators every year.

Members of the Musical Ride are first and foremost police officers. They all have at least two years experience in active police work before volunteering for duty with the Musical Ride. Surprisingly, most have no prior riding experience.

This show is free at the Brandt Centre with purchase of a QCX gate admission. Early Bird Daytrippers (gate admission and all day ride ticket) and Gate tickets are currently available online only at www.thequeencityex.com. The Queen City Ex runs from July 29th to August 2nd.
