National Rodeo Co.

After a hugely successful event in front of a sellout crowd last year, the Melbourne Rodeo returns to Melbourne Showgrounds on Saturday 27 February as part of The Ringers Western Stampede Series, presented by National Rodeo Co.

Get ready for a massive afternoon and evening of adrenaline-fuelled rodeo action, live entertainment and the very best of country culture.

Inside the arena, some of Australia’s leading cowboys and cowgirls will go head-to-head across a thrilling program of bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback and barrel racing, with thousands of dollars in prize money and valuable Ringers Western Stampede Series points on the line.

Beyond the competition, the event precinct will come alive with live bands, DJs, line dancing, the Rodeo Runway, amusement rides, food trucks, bars, market stalls, kids’ activities and a few surprises throughout the day.

Whether you’re country at heart, cowboy-curious for the night, bringing the whole family or simply looking for a great time with friends, the Melbourne Rodeo has something for everyone.

Come for the rodeo, stay for the entertainment and soak up the atmosphere as Melbourne Showgrounds transforms into the biggest celebration of rodeo and country culture ever seen in the city.

Gates open from 2pm, with live music, market stalls, bars, food, amusements and entertainment kicking off from the moment you arrive. Rodeo action commences at 5pm and continues into the evening.

Grab your boots, round up your crew and don’t miss the return of the Melbourne Rodeo!
