The Red Bluff Round-Up is proud to celebrate a long history of professional rodeo that saw its origin in the ranching and agricultural lifestyle of California. When Tehama County cattlemen came together in 1918 to hold a picnic and informal rodeo competition, the tradition of a yearly rodeo established its roots in Tehama County’s community.

In 1920, businessmen and ranchers alike from Red Bluff and Chico, California established the Northern California Round-Up Association. The first few years of rodeo saw an Ebb and Flow of financial success; however, the community was dedicated to their rodeo tradition. In 1926, the Red Bluff Round-Up Association reorganized and held a two-day long spring show that proved paramount. With 10,000 audience members in attendance, the rest was history.

With over 350 volunteers each year, the Red Bluff Round-Up is proud to give back to a community that has kept their tradition alive for decades. With over $200,000 going back to the community, the Red Bluff Round-Up Association is actively preserving California’s western heritage. So much so, that the Red Bluff Round-Up even has their own museum! With historical artifacts such as photos, saddles, buckles, chaps, and much more, dating back to the early 1900’s, the Red Bluff Round-Up Museum is keeping their history alive.
