The Reno Rodeo Association organizes a popular rodeo event in Reno, considered one of the best in the West. The event is well-organized and offers a wholesome family experience. The carnival features a variety of rides, including a mechanical bull, and wristbands for unlimited rides are available. Food options include pretzels, chicken bowls, lemonade, BBQ, tacos, burgers, and hot dogs, with ample seating in the food court. Attendees can purchase tickets for the main rodeo event, and the Reno Rodeo Association offers shuttle transportation from the nearby GSR. The event attracts a crowd dressed in western wear, adding to the festive atmosphere. Visitors enjoy the well-done rodeo, where the animals seem well-cared for, and the entertaining announcers. The rodeo kick-off concerts are also a highlight, and the event has a lively party atmosphere after the show. While the event can be crowded, especially on the final nights, it is a must-visit for those looking for a fun and authentic rodeo experience.

Staff was very friendly. We were at the rodeo grounds for several days and had no issues entering and parking. Horse stables are excellent and the warmup and performance arenas are great.

The Reno rodeo was a blast. The energy is high, the crowd is into all of the events, the events were all fun made for all age groups.. if you've never been to the rodeo I recommend that you set time aside on the calendar to go.
