Below are three of the greatest rodeos in America:
1. World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo – This rodeo takes place in Payson, Arizona and has been running consecutively for 132 years. An event attended by thousands of people annually, this rodeo provides a full western experience that showcases a still-thriving rodeo heritage.
2. Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo – A Texas-based event, the Houston rodeo is recognized as the largest rodeo in existence and runs for 20 days. Over two million people visit this rodeo each year to enjoy championship rodeo events, superstar musical entertainers, and learning about breeding and raising livestock.
3. La Fiesta de Los Vaquero Rodeo – One of the top professional rodeos in America, this Tucson, Arizona-based event features the best performances in bull riding, team roping, barrel racing, and steer wrestling. A key highlight of this rodeo is the non-motorized parade that includes Mexican folk dancers, outfitted riders, marching bands, western-themed buggies and floats, and horse-drawn carriages.
