Formerly taking place during the 4th of July weekend, one of rodeos’ busiest weekends nationally, the 2024 Navajo Pro Rodeo will now take place in late May / early June, allowing more Navajo rodeo athletes to demonstrate their incredible talents in the Navajo Nation rodeo arena.
“We are excited to share that the decision to reschedule the Navajo Nation PRCA rodeo from its traditional Fourth of July weekend slot has proven successful in attracting top PRCA rodeo contestants and assembling an outstanding lineup of Professional Cowboys and Cowgirls. The upcoming competition promises to be thrilling, with a dedicated spotlight on Navajo contestants striving for coveted positions in the prestigious 2024 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.”
