Tucson Rodeo is one of the top 25 rodeos on the
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)
calendar. Rodeo sport’s current and former world
champions all compete for a share of tens of
thousands of dollars in prize money.
The Tucson Rodeo features six rodeos. The top 12 cowboys and cowgirls from the Saturday-Saturday rodeo performances return on Sunday, for the Tucson Rodeo Finals. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) sanctions the Tucson Rodeo. La Fiesta de los Vaqueros, Arizona's celebration of the cowboys, is Southern Arizona’s oldest and most celebrated heritage event, and one of the top 25 rodeos on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) calendar. The sports’ best cowboys and cowgirls are scheduled to compete in six rodeo performances. Festivities begin at 12:30 p.m. each day. Tickets are $14-$28 (all taxes and fees included), and available in advance at TucsonRodeo.com, or by calling (800) 964-5662. Rodeo activities begin each day at 12:30 p.m. with little buckaroos competing in Ram Mutton Bustin’ and the Justin Junior Rodeo. The Pro Rodeo kicks off at 2 p.m. and includes bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, team roping, women’s barrel racing and bull riding. The Tucson Rodeo enlists over 650 professional cowboys and cowgirls competing for a share of the $460,000 purse. La Fiesta de los Vaqueros is staged by the nonprofit Tucson Rodeo and Tucson Rodeo Parade Committees. A portion of the rodeo proceeds benefits community groups including a University of Arizona scholarship fund and local Lion’s, 4-H and Rotary Clubs. Area schools close on February 26 and 27 so families can enjoy the annual Parade and Rodeo. This tradition was established in 1925 when La Fiesta de los Vaqueros debuted.
