Tampa Bay families looking for a high-energy summer outing should mark their calendars for the Tampa Bay Rodeo & Family Festival, set for July 17 and 18 at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds. The event promises two nights of full rodeo action featuring the region’s top cowboys and cowgirls competing in bull riding, barrel racing, calf roping, and more. It’s a chance to experience the excitement and tradition of rodeo entertainment in a family-friendly setting.
Before the main competition gets underway, guests can arrive early for the Family Festival, which will be packed with food, interactive activities, and fun for all ages. Organizers are also bringing back one of the rodeo’s biggest crowd favorites: viral sensation “Cowboy Sway,” who will return for the bronco busting competition after surviving a dramatic crash earlier this year. For fans who want an even better view of the action, VIP Rodeo Section upgrades will be available.
With its mix of thrilling athletic competition and kid-friendly festival fun, the Tampa Bay Rodeo & Family Festival is shaping up to be one of the area’s standout summer events.
