2023 Schedule: Watch RCMP Musical Ride at 38+ Locations Across Canada

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride is returning to tour various cities and towns in Canada this year.

RCMP is marking its 150th anniversary this year, and the 150th-anniversary tour will visit  British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Showcasing the equestrian skills of the cavalry, the Musical Ride is performed by a full troop of 32 riders and their horses performing choreographed cavalry drills to music.

From the famous “Dome” formation, which was once featured on the back of the Canadian fifty-dollar bill, to the exciting “Charge” movement, where lances are lowered and the riders and their mounts launch into a gallop, the RCMP Musical Ride is a must-see event.

Every year, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride travels up to 50 communities across Canada between May and October, helping to raise money for local charities and non-profit organizations.

If you are interested in traditional RCMP  ceremonies, visit Regina for Sergeant Major’s Parade and Sunset-Retreat Ceremony or tour the home of the RCMP Musical Ride, the Musical Ride Stables in Ottawa (May 8, 2023 to September 1, 2023).
