It was crouded and muddy there was a hudge rain storm the band before them was a no show I thought i paid for seats not a mosh pit mud hole. My shoes were ruined so were my friends boots that she has just bought I really thought I had bought a seat at a concert not standing room in a mud hole.
Rodeo did not keep my attention long enough to stay in arena more than 45min. B grade carnival for children and young teens. Bands @ outdoor stages were best part.
It was Great!!! From the Rodeo to the concerts!!! Even with all the rain, it did not spoil the fun to be had by all. The acoustic concert by Eli Young Band was the absolute Best!!!!
although saturday brought bad weather, the event was great. everyone working was friendly and helpful, the festival was kid friendly with plenty to see and eat. (also, plenty of port-o-potties, which is always good!)
I was really looking forward to this festival, and bought the tickets a month in advance. That weekend happened to be rainy, and Micky and the Motorcars wimped out and decided not to even show up. Thankfully, the Eli Young Band stuck it out and played an acoustic show (because the moisture was apparently interfering with the electric guitar pickups). Overall it was a decent show. Would have been much better if all the performers had actually been there!
Compared to the last few years - this year was awful...There were few venders, rides Activities were more for kids 12 and under . Need less to say this year was not an all day event--just not enough interesting things going on and for the few seciton that did have events (bbq, cook) i heard several people asking where it was ---there was nothing showing where it was or what time. and the parking...next time check the weather and route people elsewhere--the field was horrible to get out of after the rain --
I attended the event on Saturday, April 30th; weather was perfect in the morning! I cant wait for next years visit :)
love this event, everything was great! We have been all 5 years and each year it gets better!
We had a terrific time at this family focused event. I was amazed at all that was included for such a low price! Concerts, rodeo, car show and great carnival food. We will definitely be going back next year.
The weather was perfect Friday night, a little windy, excellent time to be outside, the carnival, the crafts, the rodeo itself and the various music, there was something for everyone. Very enjoyable, Glad to be able to participate in the event. The big screen helped tons as there were lots of people wanting to hear the music and you did not have to be in front of the stage but could still see the artists as the big screen was positioned 2 stages away, excellent for others to view and enjoy the activities and still hear and see the music.
My family and I had so much fun at the event! We just did general admission parking at the high school stadium and it was outstanding. The bus was clean and we never had to wait on it. As for the rodeo and the concert, seating was great...there wasnt really a bad seat in the house.
Rodeo was good, not a whole of entries, but they certainly tried hard. Used to PRCA and NFR, PBR..... Announcer was good and trying to get the crowd enthusiastic, got there after awhile... People sitting by us were very nice and friendly and having fun... Seats were ok, concert after was good, sure Eli Young was packed the next night. Not a lot to do either before the rodeo, lots of vendors here and there and small amusement rides and such. Would be good for families with kids which there were a lot of attending. Nice to see. I would probably rank Allen's rodeo and concert a bit higher, but overall Mesquite did a nice job. I would be back :0)
Great show! Jason Boland should come back every year!
It was amazing! i would come back ANYTIME! Even though it rained and hailed thats okay it still turned into a GREAT concert!
It was set up great good people and music I hade the best time
The cowboys didn't seem to be trying. The cowgirls were horrible. The rodeo cowboy entertainer was disgusting. I was very disappointed. The next night was proably the money night but that was horrible.
It was a great time! It's a great event for the whole family.
We have been to the Mesquite Rodeo a couple of times and have enjoyed it every time. I have three boys ranging in age from 6 - 15 and they all enjoy it.
This is the first time I watched rodeo not from TV. Anyway, me, my father, and father in-low are all enjoy about this shows, thanks.
