Rowell Ranch Cowgirl Picnic

Celebrating its 104th year in 2026, the Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo is one of California’s most historic and community-driven rodeos. Founded by the legendary “Rodeo King of the West,” Harry Rowell, this cherished tradition continues to honor its roots with a breathtaking Grand Entry down Harry’s Hill, a full weekend of professional rodeo action, and a variety of special events that bring the community together. From the parade and Cowgirl Picnic to dances, local fundraisers, and inclusive programs for youth and families, the Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo is more than just a rodeo—it’s a celebration of western heritage, hometown pride, and the spirit of the East Bay.
