Phoenix, Arizona, America’s 5th largest city, is a vibrant metropolis where high-energy action can be found around every corner. As the city continues to grow and evolve, one thing remains constant: Arizona’s wild west spirit, baked into every detail by the scorching desert sun. Honoring a legacy of cowboy days gone by, Arizona effortlessly blends Western heritage with modern-day charm. From hometown rodeos to country music festivals that draw thousands of fans each year, the state offers everything the 21st-century cowboy and cowgirl could want. This year, rodeo and country music enthusiasts are in for a treat as the Wild West comes straight to the heart of Phoenix at the 2nd annual Hondo Rodeo Fest.

“The sport of professional rodeo has arrived on the grand stage of national sports, and The Hondo Rodeo Fest is a key player in ushering it in. The city of Phoenix proved there is a strong demand for rodeo on this scale – not only did the city show up as a whole, but they were in their seats for every bit of the rodeo action! It is undeniable, there is a wave of Western Culture sweeping the country right now and this weekend was a glowing example of just how strong that influence truly is. Music is a unifier, have no doubt, but the rodeo itself carried a lot of weight in making The Hondo Rodeo Fest truly successful.”
