Catch the Iconic Mesquite Championship Rodeo

For more than 65 years, the Mesquite Championship Rodeo has entertained families with thrilling rodeo events such as saddle bronc riding, bull riding, barrel racing, team roping and more. Have a delicious barbecue dinner at the onsite BBQ pavilion and hear the best in two-steppin’ music at this authentic Texas experience. The Texas State Legislature officially declared Mesquite the Official Rodeo Capital of Texas as of 1993 because the City of Mesquite hosts more rodeo events than any other city in the state, including Fort Worth.

Sign your child up to enter a drawing for an unforgettable time participating in some fan-favorite Mutton Bustin’. In Mutton Bustin’ the child climbs onto a wild, wooly sheep and tries to hold on for the best ride of the night.
