Howdy Partner, You Want to Know When the Houston Rodeo Starts?
Hold Your Horses! This here guide will get you to the rodeo quicker than a greased pig at a county fair.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, also known as "RodeoHouston" (because everything in Texas is bigger, including nicknames), is a legendary event. It's a wild mix of professional rodeo competitions, thrilling carnival rides, delicious food (think funnel cakes and deep-fried Oreos!), and top-notch musical entertainment.
But wait a darn tootin' minute! The Houston Rodeo doesn't happen year-round. It's a seasonal shindig, and if you show up at the wrong time, you'll be met with tumbleweeds and a deserted stadium (well, maybe not tumbleweeds, but definitely no rodeo).
So, when does this rootin' tootin' good time kick off? Fear not, pilgrim! Read on for all the info you need to get your boots scootin' to RodeoHouston.
Hold on to Your Stetson! It's Not Rodeo Season Right Now
That's right, partner. The Houston Rodeo is a springtime spectacular, typically running from late February to mid-March. So, if you're reading this on, say, a hot summer day in May, you'll have to wait a while to wrangle in all the rodeo fun.
But Don't Saddle Up Just Yet! Here's How to Be Ready for Next Year's Rodeo
Mark Your Calendars: Put a big ol' reminder on your phone for sometime in February. Tickets typically go on sale a few months before the event, so you'll want to be on the lookout.
Brush Up on Your Rodeo Lingo: Knowing your "mutton busting" from your "barrel racing" will make you look like a rodeo pro. A quick internet search will have you saying "yeehaw" like a natural.
Practice Those Two-Step Moves: No rodeo is complete without some boot scootin'. Dust off your dancing boots and practice your two-step.
Most Importantly, Git Excited! The Houston Rodeo is a one-of-a-kind experience. So, start planning your outfit (think cowboy hats and boots!), and get ready for a heaping helping of Texas hospitality!
