The Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo comes but once a year - the week of July 24 - and it's definitely one you don't want to miss. Ogden Pioneer Days has been named twice the “Best Rodeo in the Wilderness Circuit” that includes Utah, Idaho and Nevada.
Ogden's rodeo, which annually draws more than 30,000 people, has been nominated five times for the “Best Rodeo in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association". This means Ogden Pioneer Days is one of the 20 best in a field of more than 700 rodeos in the country.
Each year, Ogden Pioneer Days is celebrated at the historic Ogden Pioneer Stadium, where the rodeo started and where the feeling of the American west still lives. Bring the whole family and join us for five nights of rodeo entertainment under the stars.
