Families looking for big summer excitement can save the date for the Tampa Bay Rodeo & Family Festival, set for July 17 and 18 at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds. The two-night event promises full rodeo action featuring some of the region’s top cowboys and cowgirls competing in bull riding, barrel racing, calf roping, and more. One of the biggest draws is the return of viral sensation Cowboy Sway, who is set to compete again in the bronco busting event after recovering from his heart-stopping crash earlier this year.
Beyond the arena, the festival gives guests plenty to enjoy before the main event begins. Families are encouraged to arrive early to take part in a Family Festival that includes food, interactive activities, and plenty of thrills for all ages. For those wanting a more premium experience, VIP Rodeo Section upgrades will also be available.
With its blend of rodeo tradition and kid-friendly entertainment, the Tampa Bay Rodeo & Family Festival offers a lively option for locals looking to make the most of mid-July in Tampa Bay.
