PRCA Rodeo Series
Likely the main event during the Stampede, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo Series runs from Thursday, June 27 through the end of the festival. Tickets are $15 to $20 and there are special nights for military appreciation and cancer awareness.

Demolition Derby
Over 100 drivers will compete in the multi-heat demo derby that’s been a fan favorite during the Stampede for the last decade. The main derby takes place Sunday, July 7 at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $25. The demolition derby features a $28,000 purse. There is also a “Mini Bashers” Kids Division for children between three and eight years old.
American Bull Fighting
American Bull Fighting is a truly heart-pounding event. During a 90-second match, rodeo athletes are judged on how well they maneuver around a Mexican fighting bull. This means they will often attempt daring and dangerous tricks like jumping over the bull or staying within inches of the bull’s head before moving at the last possible second. This event takes place on Thursday, July 4 at 1 p.m.
