The first La Fiesta de los Vaqueros (Celebration of the Cowboys) in 1925 touted three days of events and competition. Today, the event has grown to a nine-day celebration centered on the Tucson Rodeo, one of the top 25 professional rodeos in North America.
Extraordinary skills, explosive action and plenty of courage. That’s what rodeo is all about! It’s non-stop action with seven professional rodeo events. Come join the excitement!
