The road to the Hondo Rodeo Fest is rolling through Arizona, and the next stop is bringing the Ride to Hondo experience to one of Cave Creek’s most iconic Western destinations.
On October 28, Ride to Hondo heads to the Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse for an evening of country music, Western hospitality, and your chance to win tickets to Hondo Rodeo Fest in Phoenix.
The Ride to Hondo activation will be at the Buffalo Chip from 6:30–8:30 PM, giving fans another opportunity to join the celebration before Hondo takes over Chase Field November 13–15.
And if you love country music, bull riding, and dancing, this is one stop you definitely won’t want to miss.
A Night at the Buffalo Chip
For more than two decades, the Buffalo Chip Saloon has been part of the Cave Creek community, building a reputation as a destination for authentic Western entertainment. The venue features live country music, dancing, Texas-style BBQ, and live bull riding throughout the week.
The Buffalo Chip’s bull riding events are one of its signature attractions, while its live music and dance floor keep the party going long after the action in the arena. That makes it the perfect setting for the next Ride to Hondo stop.
Come for the atmosphere. Stay for the music. And stick around because you could leave with something even better: a chance to experience The Hondo Rodeo Fest live at Chase Field.
Your Chance to Win Hondo Rodeo Fest Tickets
The Ride to Hondo series isn’t just about visiting some of Arizona’s best Western destinations. Every stop gives fans another opportunity to win tickets to The Hondo Rodeo Fest.
At the Buffalo Chip, attendees can enter during the activation for a chance to win Hondo tickets. And there’s an important rule to remember:
You must be present to win.
We’ll select a winner at the activation, so this isn’t a giveaway where you enter and wait weeks to find out if you’ve won. You need to be at the Buffalo Chip when the winner is selected.
No purchase necessary. Must be 21 or over to enter to win. Must be present to win.
Beyond the Hondo tickets, fans can also keep an eye out for Hondo merchandise and sponsor giveaways, including gear from Hondo Rodeo Fest, Coors Banquet and Barmen 1873 Bourbon. Past Ride to Hondo giveaways have included hats, shirts, bandanas, ice molds, mule mugs, totes and more. So bring your friends, grab your cowboy hat and make a night of it. You might just be heading home with tickets to Phoenix.
Raise a Glass to the Ride
The Ride to Hondo experience is also bringing along some great beverage partners. Fans can enjoy promotions featuring Fever-Tree, Coors Banquet, and Barmen 1873 Bourbon throughout the Ride to Hondo series. Depending on the location, individual drink specials and promotions may vary.
And if you want to celebrate the Hondo way, keep an eye out for the Hondo Handshake, a Coors Banquet paired with Barmen 1873 Bourbon in a signature cowboy boot shot glass.
It’s the perfect way to toast to the road ahead.
