Additional Notes

There’s lots to do before the Rodeo begins. Grounds open at 4:00 p.m. for the evening performances and at 10 a.m. for matinee performances. Mutton bustin’ preliminaries or try-outs are a fan-favorite and tons of fun for the whole family—more detailed information is available on this page if your child is interested in competing! Plus there’s pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, goat roping and more!

You can also kick back while you’re in the Fan Zone and enjoy the Beer & Wine Corral.

Only in the Fan Zone and before the Rodeo!

With vendor booths on the north and south sides of the arena and in the Fan Zone, you’ll see a wide array of unique goods to shop, from hats and authentic Western wear to toys and souvenirs. Vendors and concessions offer plenty of options for meals, snacks, and drinks.
