It’s time to dust off your boots, put your cowboy hat on and saddle up because the RAM Rodeo Tour is coming to Rockton (Can we get a YEE-HAW?!)

On July 25th and 26th, 2025 the RAM Rodeo Tour will be opening its chutes at the Rockton World’s Fairground for a wild & western weekend! The ROCKTON RAM Rodeo will showcase two days of the live action-packed sport of rodeo in the Rockton region, just as seen at the Calgary Stampede. Each rodeo performance will feature some of Canada’s top cowboys and cowgirls compete in standard rodeo events like barrel racing, bronc riding, pole bending and the world’s most dangerous sport-bull riding!
