The Pioneer Rodeo on Friday, August 14th, 2026. Gates open at 3:00 PM to enjoy vendors and food, followed by the rodeo performance at 6:30 PM. Tickets go on sale March 28th 2026 @ 12:01 AM.
The Pioneer Rodeo returns to Norris Penrose Event Center on Friday, August 14th, 2026 for opening night, and it's the kind of Western tradition you don't want to miss.
Gates swing open at 3:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to explore the Fan Zone, grab a bite, shop local vendors, and soak in that electric pre-rodeo energy. From western wear and handcrafted goods, to cold drinks and family-friendly fun, there's something for everyone before the first chute opens.
Then at 6:30 PM, cheer for your favorites in team roping, bronc riding and more. This is Colorado rodeo at its finest, gritty, fast and unforgettable.
The excitement doesn't stop there; make it a full weekend at the Pioneer Rodeo!
Sunday, August 16th brings the high-octane Demolition Derby, where engines roar, metal crunches, and only one driver is left standing. If you love horsepower and heart-pounding action, you'll want tickets to both. Look for the information pop-up on the confirmation page after you purchase rodeo tickets to be directed to the Demolition Derby ticketing page.
One weekend, two can't-miss events.
