Rodeos

An American West Tradition

Rodeos

Montana’s rodeos are a way of life — a tradition passed down through generations. From ranch rodeos rooted in daily cowboy work to professional competitions showcasing world-class riders, each event offers an authentic glimpse into the grit, skill and spirit of the West. Feel the energy as cowboys and cowgirls take on bull riding, bronc busting, roping and barrel racing. Join the locals at Red Lodge’s Home of Champions Rodeo or watch the country’s best riders test their limits at the Livingston Roundup Rodeo, one of Montana’s biggest pro events. Saddle up for a true Western experience.

COWBOY UP

Local outfitters will have you rodeo-ready in no time. In Bozeman, stop by Boot Barn, Carter’s Boots and Repair, Head West, or Rocky Mountain Hat Company. In Livingston, check out Calamity’s Boutique or Bob’s Outdoor. And in Red Lodge, Moo Country has the perfect Western look.
