The streets of downtown Cleveland were bustling with activity on the afternoon of Saturday, March 23, as the annual rodeo parade marked the beginning of the much-anticipated Cleveland Livestock Show and Rodeo. This time-honored tradition sets the stage for two weeks filled with excitement, leading up to thrilling rodeo events and a youth livestock auction.
Taking place at Stancil Exposition Center, located at 211 Peach Ave, the Family Night Rodeo is scheduled for Thursday, March 28, followed by the pro-rodeo events on Friday and Saturday, March 29-30. While the spotlight may be on the professional rodeo nights, there’s much more in store for attendees, especially on Thursday, March 28, which features activities such as stick horse races and dummy roping.
The rodeo holds a special significance on Saturday night, March 30, as it will culminate with the coronation of the new Miss Rodeo Cleveland Livestock Show, adding an extra layer of excitement to the action-packed event.
Tickets for the nightly rodeo are $10 for adults. Kids 10 and under get in for free. The professional rodeos begin at 7:30 p.m. nightly and the Family Night Rodeo begins at 6:30 p.m.
Once the dust settles from the rodeo, the arena will be packed once again for the livestock shows, which will culminate in a youth livestock show at 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 5. A buyer’s appreciation dinner will take place in the rodeo arena from 4 to 6 p.m. On Saturday, April 6, a freezer sale will be held in the arena starting at 10 a.m.
