2016 Festa do Peão de Barretos Rodeo in Brazil

The 2016 Festa do Peão de Barretos will be taking place in Brazil as it has every year since 1956. That was the year the event started. Cattle ranchers competed head-to-head with their herds that year. It’s now a festival with almost a million people per year.

Festival Schedule

The 2016 festival is set to take place in Barretos, Brazil for 10 days in the middle of August. Cowboys and cowgirls interested in watching or competing in the rodeo can attend during the festival, which is August 18th through August 28th.

Monster Energy

What started as a two-year partnership between the Professional Bull Riders or PBR and Monster Energy Drink has been expanded by another year. Jim Haworth, the Chairman and CEO of PBR, has said before that the brand of Monster Energy Drink has long been about people who desire to be the best, which makes the partnership synergistic. The Monster Energy Event is taking place on August 20th and August 24th this year at the Festa do Peão de Barretos.
