2027 Tucson Rodeo Parade

About

The Tucson Rodeo Parade sends a mile-long procession of horse-drawn wagons, marching bands, and mounted riders down city streets, billed as the longest non-motorized parade in the country. The event kicks off the city's rodeo week each year. Antique stagecoaches and ornate wagons roll past alongside costumed riders in full Western dress, while marching bands and drill teams fill the street with music. Spectators line the route early, staking out curb space with lawn chairs well before the procession begins. The parade draws generations of Tucson families who treat it as an annual tradition, giving even non-rodeo fans a taste of the city's Old West heritage in a single morning.
