The Tucson Rodeo was established in 1925, with the intent to showcase Tucson’s Wild West allure and to attract winter visitors. During the past 101 years, the Tucson Rodeo has become the largest outdoor winter rodeo which is held annually every February.

In 2024 edition of the USA Today magazine, Tucson Rodeo was ranked number 9 out of 10 best rodeos in the United States. The rodeo features current and former PRCA/WPRCA from around the U.S., Canada and Australia to compete in seven different events within eight-days, which demonstrates their resilience and hard work. The events are Bareback Riding, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Tie-Down Roping, Women’s Barrel Racing and Bull Riding. The Tucson Rodeo and the rodeo grounds have become historic in the sport of rodeo and the backdrop for some films. The past century has brought many tourists from around the world to Tucson during February, due to the weather and the American Western Culture.
