Born out of the Nampa Harvest Festival in the early 20th-century, the Snake River Stampede has been attended by presidents such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and other famous folks over the years. As the rodeo continued to transform itself over the years, it became not only a rodeo, but a true entertainment spectacular as well. Attracting country music superstars such as Reba McEntire and Glen Campbell, the event now attracts tens of thousands of fans from across the country each year, ranking it as one of the Top 10 PRCA rodeos in the United States.
As with most popular rodeos, the Snake River Stampede has plenty of exciting events and supports numerous charities. With barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling, and tie-down roping among the many scheduled competitions, fans will have plenty of action to keep them on the edge of their seats. Along with this, plenty of charities will benefit from this Nampa rodeo, including Stampede for the Cure and various military organizations.
