The Arizona Gay Rodeo - Giddy Up & Glow Up

🌵🤠 ARIZONA GAY RODEO – 40th ANNIVERSARY! 🤠🌵
“40 Years of Grit, Glitter, and Gay Rodeo Glory!”

Saddle up, cowboys, cowbois, and anyone with a love for boots, belt buckles, and a little desert sparkle — the 40th Anniversary Arizona Gay Rodeo is riding into town, and it’s bigger, bolder, and gayer than ever!

For four decades, this rodeo has mixed serious skill with serious fun, serving up iconic events like Bull Riding, Steer Riding, Chute Dogging, Calf Roping on Foot, Mounted Breakaway Roping, Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Flag Race, Team Roping, Steer Decorating, Wild Drag Race, and the always-chaotic, always-hilarious Goat Dressing.

Whether you’re here for the adrenaline, the artistry, or the campiness of competitive drag racing in wigs and boots… you’re in the right place.
This anniversary year brings vendors, delicious food, and studs galore — both of the two-legged and four-legged variety. And when you’re ready to cool off (or heat up), the full-service bar opens at 4 PM, serving up cocktails stronger than a bull’s attitude in the chute.

The Arizona Gay Rodeo isn’t just about fun — it’s about community and giving back. With over $125,000 donated to LGBTQ+ groups, this rodeo has kept its heart as big as its hats. It’s even gained international attention, appearing on Australia’s SBS Dateline, proving that the spirit of the gay rodeo has no borders.

So dust off your cowboy boots, shine that belt buckle, and come celebrate 40 years of rodeo, pride, and pure Arizona magic.
Where the desert is hot, the competition is fierce, and the cowboys? Even fiercer. 🌈🐂🎉
