Georgia Rodeos

Georgia offers a lot of natural diversity – from beaches to mountains, you can enjoy all kinds of natural environments in the state. Of course, Georgia is also home to iconic cities.

As you’re planning your trip, consider getting tickets to a rodeo.

Georgia National Rodeo

Held in February, you’ll see exciting rodeo performances at the Georgia National Rodeo: saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, tie-down roping, team roping, bull riding, steer wrestling, and barrel racing. 

The Georgia National Rodeo is sanctioned by the PRCA. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) supports rodeo sports and organizes finals in December each year.

In addition to rodeo performances, you can enjoy the onsite vendors and various livestock shows.

If you’re near Perry, be sure to check out the Georgia National Rodeo at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricultural Center.

Georgia Rodeo

The Georgia Rodeo stands out from other rodeos because it is a country music festival. Before the musicians perform, there’s a rodeo in the afternoon. It’s easy to make a day of celebrating cowboy and cowgirl culture.

Add the Georgia Rodeo to your itinerary if you’re headed to Athens in April.

Great Southland Stampede Rodeo

Created by the University of Georgia livestock judging team in 1974, the Great Southland Stampede Rodeo continues to be organized by University of Georgia students in the UGA Block & Bridle members. 

Held in March, it’s a PRCA-sanctioned rodeo. You can see bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing, and more.

UGA Block & Bridle members also organize other events, including the Special Events Rodeo where local elementary students learn about western heritage and the origins of rodeo events.

Hiawassee Pro Rodeo

Held at the Georgia Mountain Fairground, you can see bucking horses and bucking bulls at the Hiawassee Pro Rodeo. This rodeo occurs at the end of August and beginning of September.

Georgia Rodeo Associations

Georgia has several rodeo associations that support rodeo sports throughout the state and across multiple age groups. These associations include Georgia High School Rodeo Association (GHSRA), Georgia Lineman’s Rodeo Association (GLRA), Georgia Junior Rodeo Association (GJRA), and the North Georgia Little Britches Rodeo Association.
