Reno’s Longest-Running Event

The Reno Rodeo is the city’s longest-running event, dating all the way back to 1919 when the community banded together looking for a way to celebrate the end of WWI, deciding on a rodeo and “carnival of the range.” Today the Reno Rodeo is the fourth richest rodeo in the PRCA, put on by over 900 volunteers with over 140,000 fans in attendance. This is the 4th richest PRCA tour rodeo and the 3rd best as recognized by USA Today’s 10 Best Readers Choice. The Reno Rodeo has been nationally televised on The Cowboy Channel, CBS Sports, Fox Sports Net, Versus, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Classic.
