Silver State Stampede
Friday July 8-Sunday July 10
The Silver State Stampede is the oldest rodeo in Nevada. The tradition of Elko’s annual rodeo started in 1912 when GS Garcia, the world-famous bit, spur, and saddle maker, decided that northern Nevada cowboys needed a rodeo, and the town needed the added entertainment and income.
Today’s Stampede has grown into a multi-faceted event, showcasing the best of rodeo and ranch cowboys alike. The Silver State Stampede has won the award for Best Small Rodeo in the Wilderness Circuit so many times we lost count. This is an award voted on by the competing cowboys and cowgirls which makes it even more of an honor to our rodeo. Friday & Saturday: Gates open @ 5pm. Mutton Busting/Mini-Bulls @ 6pm. PRCA Rodeo @ 7pm. Reckless Envy will perform live at the dance both nights following the rodeo. Sunday: Gates open @ 3pm. Mutton Busting/Mini-Bulls @ 4pm. PRCA Rodeo @ 5pm. Tickets can be purchased online! If you would prefer to purchase your tickets in person they will be available at J.M. Capriolas, Boot Barn, IFA, and Roy’s Market. If you are unable to purchase pre-sale tickets they will also be available at the gate during the event. Questions about tickets should be directed to: tickets@silverstatestampede.com
