Truckee Rodeo

The Truckee Pro Rodeo is back for its 51st year, bringing two days of classic rodeo action, family fun, and local flavor to the Sierra. Held at McIver Arena, this longtime Truckee tradition features everything from bull riding and barrel racing to vendor shopping, great food, and live music.
