People come from all over the country to see the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, which is one of the most anticipated events in Texas. This yearly event honors Western culture and Texas history. The Rodeo goes from February 6 to February 23, 2025, and will have all sorts of rodeo events – barrel races, youth and adult rodeo riding, mounted shooting, and more. If the rodeo isn't a draw, there's also live concerts, livestock shows, and carnival fun. The San Antonio Rodeo is a must-see event that will entertain visitors of all ages, whether you've been to a rodeo before or this is your first time. Here is a guide to help you get the most out of this special event.

Event Highlights

Even though the San Antonio Rodeo is famous for its exciting rodeos, it also has many other activities and sites that honor Texas traditions.

Rodeo Competitions

Rodeo tournaments sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) are at the heart of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. Some of the world's best competitors show off their skill, bravery, and athleticism at these games. The 19 PRCA rodeo performances planned for 2025 look like they will be very exciting, with games like bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling, and saddle bronc riding.

Live Concerts

Top artists flock to the San Antonio Rodeo to put on a show – country giants, rock icons, and up-and-coming stars alike. Artists like Keith Urban and LeAnn Rimes will perform live music at rodeo and fairgrounds concerts. With six music venues, there's music everywhere at this event. Every visitor will find something to enjoy.

Livestock Shows and Auctions

The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo is also a big deal for people who work in agriculture. Putting livestock up at the show demonstrates how hard farmers and young people work to take care of these animals. At the San Antonio Rodeo, all sorts of animals are put on exhibit – beef heifers, sheep and goats, turkeys, and more.

Auctions also help 4-H and FFA students, since the money raised is often used to pay for training programs and scholarships. The livestock shows give the next generation of farmers a chance to show what they can do.

Carnival and Fairgrounds

At the San Antonio Rodeo, the fairgrounds are a lot of fun. There's plenty to do: carnival rides and games, food vendors, pig races and pony rides, wine gardens, and family-friendly entertainment. The fair is great for families because it has both thrilling rides and calmer activities, so there's always something to do. Not to mention that many of the things to do are free! Everyone is sure to have a great time.
