How to Get Tickets

Tickets are handled through the site's Tickets section, which is the starting point for admission to the fair and rodeo. Before you go, check the site's Gate Hours and Parking Information page under the About section — it covers when gates open and where to park, which matters most if you're planning around a specific rodeo or concert time.

What's Happening Across the 10 Nights

The schedule is built around nightly entertainment rather than a single headline draw:

  • Rodeo — PRCA Rodeo, Invitational Ranch Rodeo, 21 & Under Rodeo, Bull Blowout, Celebracion Del Toro, and Mutton Bustin'
  • Live music — Miller Lite Main Stage headlining concerts, plus Cool Zone and Revolver Stage concerts
  • Livestock shows — beef cattle, goats, sheep, swine, and poultry divisions across open and junior categories
  • Contests and creative arts — photography, beauty pageant, rodeo queen, creative arts, youth art, and baking contests
  • Other attractions — parade, carnival, commercial exhibits and food vendors, horse show, and cookoffs

A Daily Schedule page on the site is the best way to match a specific date to what's running that night.

Getting Involved Beyond Attending

If you're interested in more than attending, the site lists membership, volunteering, scholarships, vendor and commercial exhibitor applications, sponsorships, and internships. The association reports more than 700 members and volunteers, over $34,000 awarded in scholarships annually, and over $725,000 reinvested into the community each year.

Practical Notes

  • The event runs 10 consecutive nights, so ticket and parking demand varies by night — check the daily schedule before choosing a date.
  • The fairground address (2217 N Carroll Blvd.) is the reference point for navigation and parking planning.
  • For updates, the site offers a public email list signup, and the organization maintains Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.
