2027 Tucson Rodeo – La Fiesta de los Vaqueros

About

The Tucson Rodeo, known locally as La Fiesta de los Vaqueros, fills the rodeo grounds with professional bull riding, roping, and barrel racing for nine days each February. Contestants come from across the United States and Canada to compete in one of the top professional rodeos in North America, with events running most of the day at the arena on South 6th Avenue. Watch broncs buck, ropers chase down steers, and riders hang on through bull rides that last only seconds but draw roars from the stands. A parade and barn dance round out the celebration, and a kids' rodeo lets younger riders test mutton-busting and junior roping. The event has a real Old West feel, mixing serious competition with a hometown party atmosphere. It suits families looking for an afternoon out as much as it suits die-hard rodeo fans chasing the standings.
