It’s Time for the Rio Grande Valley Rodeo!

Written by

The Rio Grande Valley Rodeo is one of the biggest and most exciting events in the Lone Star State. Taking place March 9-19, the Rio Grande Valley Rodeo is a must-see event for any rodeo fan. Located on the outskirts of Mercedes, Texas, the Rio Grande Valley Rodeo brings together the best of the rodeo community to compete for some of the biggest prizes in the business.

The year was 1939 when the Mercedes, Texas Chamber of Commerce gathered to organize the first Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show and Agricultural Exposition. With humble beginnings, the event quickly gained popularity in the community. Through its preservation of Texas’ ranching and agricultural heritage, the event made quite the impact on the surrounding communities and today is considered one of the top ten livestock shows and rodeos in the Lone Star State.

The Rio Grande Valley Rodeo is more than just a rodeo! In addition to its main events, the event also offers a wide variety of events and activities for the whole family to enjoy. From the rodeo parade and carnival to the livestock shows and exhibits, there’s something for everyone!

A ranch rodeo will kick off all of the action on March 11-12, with professional rodeo performances taking place March 16th, 17th, and 18th and will include all your favorite PRCA events such as bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback riding, team roping, tie down roping, steer wrestling, and barrel racing. Each performance will take place at 7:00pm. Tickets can be purchased here.

Committed to giving back to the community, the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show continues to carry on the legacy established during its inaugural year. The Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show’s mission statement reads,

“To provide a safe and educational environment that promotes family, community and volunteerism. We strive to promote the youth of South Texas through leadership development, agricultural education, and competition with a goal of creating the leaders of tomorrow.”

The Rio Grande Valley Rodeo is a great event for any fan of the rodeo and country lifestyle. Whether you’re a fan of bull riding or just looking for family-friendly activities, the Rio Grande Valley Rodeo is the perfect place to spend your weekend.
