“Go Texan” day is only a few Fridays away, which paves the way for RODEO fever to overtake the city! That’s right – it’s already here! Every spring, the arrival of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, is a staple Houston tradition, starting with the Rodeo Roundup from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, February 23 at City Hall. Mayor Annise Parker and Harris County Judge Ed Emmett will both be on hand for the free festivities, which will include food, games and plenty of foot-stompin' music!
Keep up the momentum next weekend with the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Parade on Saturday, February 27. The parade, which gets underway at 10 a.m., is a not-to-be-missed event that transforms Houston's bustling urban center into a down-home celebration of our Western roots. Lavish floats join trail riders on horseback and in wagons as they make their way through downtown to their campsite near Memorial Park.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, runs from Tuesday, March 2 through Sunday, March 21 at Reliant Center, you can always hop on the METRORail for a quick trip to all the activities, and there are plenty of shuttles around the city provided by METRO that keeps the guess work out of parking!
Don’t think that the Rodeo is all cows, cowboys and horses; on the contrary, the Rodeo has evolved to be as diverse as its host city.
