It’s almost time to kick off Rodeo Austin 2023, the month-long festivities in Austin, Texas. Every year in March since 1938 Austin, Texas has been home to the famous western experience! To kick off the fun on March 10th at the Travis County Exposition Center. There will be live music from famous artists like Aaron Watson and Lainey Wilson every night, as a Pro Rodeo, livestock show, and carnival.
Back in 1938 when it all started, Rodeo Austin was just a small livestock show with only a few animals. Over the years it has grown into a large show that now allows both the 4H and FFA members from across the state to partake. In 1950 is when the rodeo was brought in and added to the stock show and fair. Although they had a rough start, it is now not only sanctioned by the PRCA but has also become one of the top five best Pro Rodeos in America. Rodeo Austin officially became a nonprofit back in the 1980s. Its mission was to give back to the kids of Texas. The scholarship program alone has awarded over $8 million dollars to roughly 2,000 students. As well as educating students about agriculture and the importance it has in this world.
