Gilbert Days Rodeo 2024

Once recognized as the “Hay Shipping Capital of the World,” Gilbert, Arizona has quickly expanded, earning it the title of one of America’s fastest-growing communities. While a once rural landscape has developed into a sprawling suburban metropolis, Gilbert hasn’t lost sight of its Western heritage and its important influence on today’s community.

Western Heritage

While Gilbert’s ranching and rodeo history extends decades, it was in 1978 when a group of Gilbert ranchers, businessmen, and entrepreneurs banded together to preserve and promote Gilbert’s Western heritage for years to come. Since its inception 46 years ago, The Gilbert Promotional Corporation (GPC) has remained the engine behind the successful and popular Gilbert Days Rodeo. Made up entirely of volunteers, the GPC has upheld its goal of promoting family values, keeping the spirit of the West alive within their community, promoting the Town of Gilbert through various community outreach opportunities and service projects, and of course, their highly anticipated Gilbert Days Rodeo.

Saddle Up

Bringing in thousands of visitors each year, the Gilbert Days Rodeo has become an integral stitch in the fabric of Gilbert, Arizona. Occurring each November, this year’s festivities will span from November 22nd through November 24th. With three days of rodeo fun on the horizon, let’s saddle up and jump in!

Using the Past to Preserve the Future

Kicking off the festivities is the annual Gilbert Days Pony Express Ride on November 8th and 9th. A blast from the past, riders will travel from city to city to deliver mail across Arizona. Beginning in Gilbert with a commencement ceremony, riders will travel through Sacaton, Stanfield, Casa Grande, Eloy, Coolidge, Florence, and Queen Creek, Arizona. A wonderful lesson in history preserved, the Gilbert Days Pony Express Ride is a great window into the past, educating present and future generations.
