About the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo

There are lots of annual events out there that go back a long way, but none can hold a candle to the history that's behind the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. The oldest of any continuously operating rodeo in America, it began toward the end of the 19th century, way back in 1896. Every year since then (with the exception of 1943 for WWII-related reasons), the event, also known as the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show, has brought the best in rodeo entertainment and livestock exhibitions/competitions to Texas, with people traveling from all over the country to see it. Now, that's a tradition. Not surprisingly, considering its long history, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo has been responsible for many innovations over the years in the presentation of rodeo, including the first indoor rodeo, and the first presentation of Brahman bull riding.

So what can you expect from the current version of an event with such a rich legacy? Well, for starters, three weeks' worth of rodeo action, of course, including the ProRodeo tournament as well as the likes of Bulls' Night Out extreme bull riding, the Best of the West ranch rodeo, the Best of Mexico Celebración and the Cowboys of Color rodeo show. But there's much more beyond that. Livestock shows include everything from cattle and goats to pigeons and poultry. There are lots of live music performances, from country to mariachi music, plus Western music and cowboy poetry. Wine and beer makers host events based around their crafts. Onsite food vendors offer no shortage of menu items to satisfy every taste. And when you patronize the rodeo, you're also supporting a nonprofit organization that's been responsible for donating huge amounts of money to foster the future of agriculture and livestock rearing.

    Great as always

    by DisplacedFtWorthNative on 2/6/10Will Rogers Coliseum - Fort Worth

    I have never missed a year going to the FWSSR (I even remember it being called the Fat Stock Show) in my 49 years and this one did not disappoint either. I still have the same awe that I had at a child at the beauty and grace of the animals and I love the midway and the food!

    Exciting, Fun, Amazing, Thrilling!

    by MissBec143 on 2/5/10Will Rogers Coliseum - Fort Worth

    I went to the 2PM Thursday (2-4-10) Rodeo, the rain didn't stop me from the long drive to get there! I'm a novice photographer and hoped to try out some action shots! I do need the right lens for action, but still got some awesome shots! I went to the right place for it too! I couldn't wait! (Thank You Mr. Glenn P for the up close photography opportunity!) I have always loved the Ft. Worth Stk. Show and Rodeo and used to ride in the downtown parades as a kiddo and even adult! But the rodeo, our true Texas Heart...I was so excited during the whole event...I got some terrific shots and all the action was so amazing! I loved it, and then all the sudden...it was over! I sat in my seat for a moment wanting more, more, more...People were leaving...it was over! Oh No! So, I want to go back! It just wasn't long enough for me!

    The FW Rodeo

    by Moose48 on 2/1/10Will Rogers Coliseum - Fort Worth

    The rodeo was pretty boring. I was very disappointed in the skill level of the performers. I was not very entertained. As of right now, I do not plan on attending this event again in the future. The best part of the day was the rodeo band.

    FW Rodeo- Sunday matinee

    by GPops on 2/1/10Will Rogers Coliseum - Fort Worth

    The Sunday 2 PM matinee of the Fort Worth Rodeo was a fun and good family event. The rodeo does not attract the upper crust of rodeo athletes as a general rule, but the events are good with the participants that come. The rodeo has good stock and the event is well run and organized from the spectator point of view.

    Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo

    by Ron47 on 1/27/10Will Rogers Coliseum - Fort Worth

    Great rodeo with lots of outstanding participants. Not crowded in the middle of the week (1/26). Only disappointment was there were not many animals to see in the barns.

    Great Time

    by WallyJr on 1/25/10Will Rogers Coliseum - Fort Worth

    I live in Dallas and visiting Ft. Worth is always a treat ..... love the people. We went on a week-end and the Rodeo was sold out. A lot of people were dissappointed ... so get your tickets ahead of time. The Rodeo was wonderful. Great crowd and atmosphere. Enjoyed the shopping pavillion area also. Very impressed that by in large the vendors all sold quality items .... No Junk. The new WinStar area with entertainment & dancing was absolutely great. I hope they bring that back again next year in a larger venu. A great deal - lots of BANG for your BUCK An up scale State Fair experience at a far lesser price.

    Rodeo brought back great memories!

    by BaileyO on 1/25/10Will Rogers Coliseum - Fort Worth

    I was extremely impressed with the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo this year. I haven't been in 10+ years, and despite they cruddy weather on Saturday, the Rodeo presentation was wonderful. I grew up in Fort Worth going to the Stock Show & Rodeo during my entire childhood, but I don't remember it being this good (I probably appreciate it more now that I'm in my 30s). It seemed as if major improvements have been made to the actual rodeo events and the events in between. Had a blast and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the rodeo or hasn't been in several years! Wish one of the bull riders would have stayed on the full 8 seconds, but sometimes, the bulls win!!
