Helotes, Texas – The one and only Helotes Cornyval & PRCA Rodeo 2024 is kicking off on Thursday, May 2nd, May 3rd, and Saturday, May 4th, 2024. With the Helotes Festivals Association’s award-winning PRCA Rodeo is held in conjunction with the Helotes Festival’s 59th Cornyval which runs through Sunday, May 5th. Helotes is located on the far northwest side of San Antonio, Texas in Bexar County at 12210 Leslie Rd, Helotes, Texas 78023.
This outstanding event began 59 years ago in the heart of Texas, a small town that is now called Helotes. This quaint community had its very first post office built and what no better way to show appreciation was to throw a celebration. That celebration was just the beginning of the Cornyval Festival.
The Cornyval Festival was originally held downtown Helotes in front of the John T. Floore Country Store right on Bandera Road. In the beginning, the Cornyval originally started as a carnival with food booths. It eventually moved to new grounds located on Leslie Road. The rodeo eventually had the opportunity to join the Cornyval family, taking place on the new grounds in a little arena out in the parking lot. The rodeo has now grown and moved to a bigger arena on the same property. This years marks the 59th year of the Cornyval and the 37th year of the PRCA Rodeo.

The Cornyval & PRCA Rodeo has grown tremendously over the years. Starting off, the Cornyval was lucky to bring in 12,000-15,000 people in a four-day event. Now they’re bringing in almost 100,000 people each year. The rodeo has grown exponentially year after year. It continues to get bigger and better! The Cornyval is proud to say it’s now considered one of PRCA’s medium-sized rodeos! The news is spreading that this is an all-time event that you don’t want to miss out on.

There is still so much in store for the Cornyval grounds and the committee is excited to see it grow and improve year after year. All these changes wouldn’t be possible without the help of all of the amazing volunteers that Cornyval has. The grounds are also available throughout the year to rent out by various organizations.
