Stock contractor Cervi Championship Rodeo’s world champion bucking horses and bulls return to town for the annual event.
Mark your calendar to attend one of the Valley’s biggest events, Cave Creek Rodeo Days, set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 28, 29 and 30 in Cave Creek!
Now in its 44th year with Sanderson Ford as the title sponsor, the event will take place at Cave Creek Memorial Arena with three thrilling PRCA rodeo performances featuring top-ranking Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) contestants.
“Rodeo is steeped in the tradition of the Old West. Each event is in some way connected to the skills and abilities required in real working ranches and open range cattle operations that are a part of our heritage,” said Beth Cornell, president of Cave Creek Rodeo Days. “For those new to rodeo, our announcer will share more details about how each event is scored for a better understanding of the competition, so it will be easy to follow along.”
The 2020 event was shut down to fans due to the world pandemic. Rodeo attracts more than 11,000 people to the Cave Creek Memorial Arena during the three-day weekend. Even with the pandemic last year’s payout was $69,209 to competitors helping to maintain the attraction of national talent this year.
