Lost Dutchman Days Rodeo 2024

Apache Junction, Arizona – The 2024 Lost Dutchman Days continues to be “the fun place to be for all ages” taking place February 23-25, 2024. The event is located at 1590 E Lost Dutchman Blvd. Apache Junction, AZ 85219. This 60th annual event has 3 days of professional rodeo action brought to you by the Grand Canyon Professional Rodeo Association and a carnival that features 30+ rides.  What would any event be without plenty of food and vendor booths to browse as they have over 100 set up to keep the family busy.

Ultimate Goal

The Lost Dutchman Days Rodeo Committee partners up with various youth-serving organizations and sponsors to put on this event that entertains the entire family. Profits from this event are donated back to these youth organizations and other youth-serving programs of the Apache Junction Community, ensuring the opportunity to reach the ultimate goal of “Putting Smiles on Kid’s Faces”. 

Growing & Evolving

Superstition Mountain Promotional Corporation and the Apache Junction Mounted Rangers are the moving forces behind this highly successful and popular hometown rodeo. With both organizations being completely made up of volunteers, this event has been growing and evolving since 1965 and 59 years later, they are proud to present their best year yet.

Kicking off the weekend festivities is the Bratwurst & Beer Party on Thursday, February 22, 2024, at the Apache Junction Elks Lodge. There will be free entertainment and plenty of brats and beer for the whole family! All proceeds benefit local youth charities. This event will go from 12-8 pm; you can check the full schedule on their website.
