With a goal to promote family values, Gilbert’s western heritage, and the love of community, the Gilbert Days Rodeo is your one-stop-shop for rodeo action, community celebration, and downright fun!

Once known as “The Hay Capital of the World,” Gilbert, Arizona was founded on agriculture. Land that once grew acres of hay is now home to new restaurants, bars, and shopping districts. However, as Gilbert expands, one thing holds true and that is Gilbert, Arizona’s western heritage. Today, Gilbert celebrates its rich history each November with the month-long “Gilbert Days” celebration.

The Gilbert Promotional Corporation is the engine behind the vastly successful and popular Gilbert Days Rodeo. Made up entirely of volunteers, this Non-Profit Organization has been organizing, maintaining, and producing the Gilbert Days Rodeo since 1978. Located at their new location, Horseshow Park and Equestrian Center, this year is sure to be one of the best yet! Welcoming visitors and locals alike, “home” to Gilbert for a weekend chock-full of activity. Whether you prefer exploring the vendor shops, grabbing a bite to eat and a cold drink to sip or cheering in the stands, the Gilbert Days Rodeo has something for everyone to enjoy.

The action kicks off Friday, November 19th with the first performance of three during rodeo weekend. Friday also marks the beginning of the Gilbert Days Lil’ Dudes Rodeo. Come on out and cheer on cowboys and cowgirls big and small at both exciting events. Looking for the full schedule? Cowboy Lifestyle Network has you covered!
