The River City Rodeo returns September 11–12, 2026—twenty-five years after a day that changed us all. This weekend will be handled with care, with time set aside to remember the lives lost, honor the families forever changed, and recognize the veterans and first responders who continue to stand watch in our own community.
If you’re looking to be part of something that carries a little more meaning this year, we’d be glad to have you ride alongside us.
