The story

Reno Rodeo in Reno

The Reno Rodeo is a major PRCA-sanctioned rodeo held each June in Reno, Nevada, marketed as the Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West. Now past its 100th annual edition, it features professional rodeo competition across standard events including bareback riding, saddle bronc, steer wrestling, and team roping, alongside a parade and associated community celebrations.

Reno Rodeo has run annually since the early twentieth century, growing over more than a hundred editions into one of the most prominent stops on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Reno Rodeos self-given title, the Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West, reflects genuinely large purses that have historically attracted top-tier PRCA competitors, giving the event standing within professional rodeo well beyond a typical regional show

02

The mystery stays covered

Its longevity, now past a century of annual editions, places it among the longest-running rodeos in the American West, a continuity that has let it build deep community roots in Reno even as the citys broader identity shifted over the decades from a gambling and quick-divorce destination toward a more diversified economy

03

The city starts moving

The rodeo anchors a broader annual civic celebration in Reno each June, extending its cultural footprint beyond the arena itself
