Denver is no stranger to pro sports and all-star games. That is why there was no better host when the first-ever Rodeo All-Star event was created than the National Western Events Center in the Mile High City. Rodeo All-Star Weekend was established in 2013 to highlight the best in pro rodeo – World Champion vs. World Champion. For two days in October, the world’s top-ranked cowboys and cowgirls ride into Denver to compete in three rodeo performances with a chance to win big bucks and be crowned Rodeo All-Star Champions.
Like any all-star celebration, the weekend includes more than just world-class rodeos. The National Western Events Center is adorned with rodeo fanfare with interactive games, mechanical bull riding, behind-the-scenes access, plus special events including a Lunch with Champions and exclusive after-parties.
The sport of rodeo has been around for over one hundred years. We are proud to celebrate rodeo’s all-stars every October in Denver.
