The Ride to the Hondo Rodeo Fest is officially underway, and after kicking things off at Cowboy Fest 5, the journey is heading to Queen Creek for its second stop.
On September 18 and 19, the Creek Bash Rodeo will take over Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre in Queen Creek, Arizona, bringing two nights of rodeo action, entertainment, Western culture, and plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy the ride.
But this year, there is another reason to make plans for Creek Bash: it is the second stop on Ride to the Hondo Rodeo Fest.
The Ride Continues at Creek Bash Rodeo
The first Ride to the Hondo activation kicked off at Cowboy Fest 5 at Corona Ranch in Laveen, bringing fans together for rodeo, music, dancing, food, and the modern cowboy lifestyle.
Now the Ride moves east to Queen Creek.
Creek Bash Rodeo takes place September 18–19 at Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre, 20464 E. Riggs Road, Queen Creek, AZ 85142. The event has become a major celebration of the Western lifestyle, combining rodeo competition with entertainment, food, shopping, family activities, and the kind of atmosphere that makes a night at the rodeo more than just watching the action in the arena.
And because Creek Bash is part of Ride to the Hondo, fans attending this stop aren’t simply going to another rodeo; they are joining a journey that will continue across Arizona before reaching its final destination: The Hondo Rodeo Fest at Chase Field in Phoenix, November 13–15.
What Ride to The Hondo Is About
Ride to the Hondo, proudly sponsored by Coors Banquet, Fever-Tree, and Barmen 1873 Bourbon, is a series of live activations at select locations across Arizona, giving fans a preview of what makes The Hondo Rodeo Fest so special. Each stop offers its own unique atmosphere, but the mission remains the same: have a good time, meet fellow Western fans, and get one step closer to the main event in November.
Win Big on the Spot
At each stop, attendees can enter for a chance to win tickets to The Hondo Rodeo Fest, with winners selected that same day. You don’t have to wait weeks to find out if you won; you could walk in for the party and walk out with tickets to one of Arizona’s biggest rodeo and entertainment weekends.
Exclusive Merchandise Giveaways
While you’re there, keep an eye out for merchandise giveaways happening throughout the event. Lucky attendees can take home gear from The Hondo Rodeo Fest, Coors Banquet, and Barmen 1873 Bourbon, including ice molds, bandanas, hats, shirts, mule mugs, totes, and more.
Opportunity for Discounted Hondo Tickets
Beyond the giveaways, attendees can lock in exclusive savings on tickets to The Hondo Rodeo Fest. Every event features special discounted pricing available only to those in attendance, ensuring no one leaves empty-handed. Be sure to stick around; you must be present at the event to grab your discounted tickets or to win.
Creek Bash Rodeo: What to Expect
Creek Bash Rodeo returns to Queen Creek for two nights of Western excitement on September 18 and 19, 2026. The event features the kind of rodeo action fans come to see, including bucking broncs, bull riding, barrel racing, and more. But the experience goes beyond the arena.
According to the event information, Creek Bash will also feature freestyle motocross, family activities, Western shopping, food, and entertainment, making it an event that gives rodeo fans and families plenty to experience throughout the weekend.
Whether you’re a longtime rodeo fan or looking for a fun way to spend a night with family and friends, Creek Bash offers a chance to experience the Western lifestyle in one place.
The Ride to The Hondo is Just Getting Started
Creek Bash is only the second stop on the Ride to the Hondo schedule.
After Queen Creek, the Ride continues through Arizona with additional activations at places including Corona Ranch, Bourbon Jim’s, The Trophy Bar, The Stillery, SanTan Flats, Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse, Gila River Resorts & Casinos, Wild Horse Pass, Tom Ryan’s, and Foley Ranch before the journey reaches The Hondo Rodeo Fest in November.
