Celebrate the heart and heat of championship rodeo at the Douglas County Rodeo: two action-packed days of thrilling bronco and bull riding, lightning-fast barrel racing, precision team roping, and much more.
From broncs to barrel racers, the Douglas County Rodeo delivers Carson Valley’s most thrilling two‑day celebration of Western sport and culture.
Rodeo fans can catch everything from bronc and bull riding to wild horse racing, barrel racing, breakaway roping, team roping, and the ever-popular mutton bustin’, where kids ages 5 to 8 test their grit in a safe, spirited sheep ride.
The adrenaline ramps up with a freestyle motocross show by FMX Ramp-Age, sending riders airborne for high-flying stunts that’ll leave you breathless. And for younger guests, Kids Day features bounce houses and hands-on fun designed just for them.
Beyond the arena, the rodeo grounds are packed with vendors offering handcrafted goods, mouthwatering eats from food trucks, and the return of the tattoo convention. As day turns to night, live music takes over with outdoor concerts and a lively afterparty right on the grounds.
