Rodeo de Santa Fe
WHEN: late June 2027, exact dates TBA, check back early 2027
WHERE: Santa Fe Rodeo Grounds Saddle up for all the heart-pounding, mud-slinging, action-packed performances of a top PRCA rodeo with a hometown feel.
Rodeo de Santa Fe is fun for the entire family, with many events for the little ones! The Mutton Bustin’ and youth barrel racers continue to be a crowd favorite of young and old alike! Not to mention the carnival midway, concessions, vendors and a beer garden.
The Rodeo de Santa Fe began in 1949 when Roy Butler, Austin "Slim" Green, Gene Petchesky, Paul Ragle, Paul Rutledge and few others had a dream and determination to organize a professional rodeo in Santa Fe, NM. This dream exceeded their ambitious expectations and today remains one of the top 60 PRCA Rodeos in the nation.
Why We Love It
“Rodeo de Santa Fe is one of those events that defines Santa Fe — where community, tradition, and celebration come together beautifully.”
Insider Tip
Dress in layers — some Santa Fe venues are open-air or partially covered, and evening temperatures drop quickly.
