The Desert Rodeo is a marquee celebration of Western sport and culture, staging elite rodeo action in a dramatic desert setting. Across a packed program of roughstock and timed events, athletes test their skills in bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback, barrel racing, steer wrestling, tie-down roping, and team roping, with fast clocks and big rides driving the excitement.

Beyond the arena, fans find live country music, vendor marketplaces, and regional food that round out a full-day experience for families and die-hards alike. From opening ceremonies to the final whistle, the Desert Rodeo blends tradition with modern production to create a charged atmosphere where every second counts and every cheer matters, making it a standout stop on the Western calendar and a memorable pick for anyone who loves the thrill of live competition.
