Rodeo Events

Join us Fridays and Saturdays all summer long, located at the Brent Romick Arena on Howelsen Pkwy.

OPENING CEREMONIES

Join us for the opening ceremonies with authentic patriotism and a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem in true American fashion

PERMIT BULL RIDING

Where novice bull riders work to prove their skills in the arena and whether or not they can hold their own against the proven professionals

SPONSOR FLAGS

A special part of the opening ceremonies as well as interludes throughout the night – watch as the Coca-Cola Cowgirls gallop around the arena carrying the colorful sponsor flags

TEAM ROPING

Watch as two professional riders and their horses work together as a team to rope a steer, front and back, as quickly as possible

BAREBACK RIDING

CALF SCRAMBLE

Watch kids from the audience “scramble” around the arena in an attempt to pull a pink ribbon off of a calf’s tail

SADDLE BRONC RIDING

The rider, while holding onto only a rope, moves his feet from the horse’s neck toward the back of the saddle, in time with the bronc’s action

CLOWN ACT

Rodeo clowns are a part of the act primarily for the athletes’ protection, but they’re also here to bring some comedy relief to the crowds
