A Celebration of Southwestern Rodeo Heritage

For over 45 years, the sport of Rodeo has been alive and kicking in the Sonoran Desert. The Cave Creek Rodeo was originally started in 1977 to bring the town and community together to share in the pride and preserve the area’s unique culture.

Not only is the event incredibly entertaining, but the team is dedicated to supporting charitable organizations throughout the Sonoran Desert and assisting the Town of Cave Creek with continued maintenance and enhancement of the Cave Creek Memorial Arena. The rodeo committee and volunteers put so much work into planning each year, and their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!
