Lake Powell Rodeo Arena & Fairgrounds

Let's rodeo!! And so begins the most rugged, daring and unique of All-American pastimes. Rodeo clearly evokes the sights and sounds of the only professional sport based on an actual working situation. 'Old Glory' snaps in the wind as a gentle reminder that 'rodeo' represents the very strength that our country was founded.

More than 10,000 people have been entertained under the splendid Southwestern skies since the inception of Lake Powell Rodeo Arena & Fairgrounds. The massive arena holds up to 2,000 eager spectators who are awed and inspired with every event.

Experience authentic rodeos with thrilling bucking horses, death-defying cowboys riding sky-rocketing bulls, the race against the clock of the barrel racers and the precision of the team ropers. The arena also hosts open-air concerts, horsemanship and cowboy clinics, gymkhanas, pow wows, wild west shows and much more.

Lake Powell Rodeo Arena & Fairgrounds also offers unique and exciting cowboy activities including:

• Cowboy weddings & receptions
• Birthday & anniversary parties
• Family reunions
• Cowboy fun days
• Petting zoo

Horse Boarding is available for cowboys and cowgirls itching to kick off their boots for a night or two while traveling through beautiful Lake Powell country.
