Time to Mark your calendars for the Flagstaff Pro Rodeo!
The entire family will enjoy this summer tradition, held at Fort Tuthill County Grandstands. Sanctioned by PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association), all of the traditional competitions will be on display, including barrel racing, tie down roping, team roping, bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, Cowboy Mounted Shooting and bull riding. Wild horse races will join the lineup for the first time, and there will be plenty to see and do!
The rodeo is set for Thursday, June 22; Friday, June 23; and Saturday, June 24. Gates will open nightly at 5 p.m., giving attendees the chance to eat, drink and shop before performances kick off at 7 p.m. The first one hundred rodeo fans through the gates on Thursday evening will receive a free ticket to the weekend’s Arizona Antique and Firearm show, held at the fairgrounds.
Ahead of the rodeo, on Wednesday June 21, there will be a barrel race open to all, and Northland Beverage will host the Flagstaff Chamber mixer in the VIP tent. Admission is $15 and includes food and drink. After the rodeo on Thursday and Friday, the Museum Club will host an after-party with live music, dancing and drink specials. On Saturday night after the final rodeo, there will be an arena dirt dance with live music from 9 p.m. to midnight!
Thursday is suicide prevention night, so guests should wear teal or purple. On Friday, they will honor First Responders and Saturday is patriotic night, so bring your red, white and blue!
