The Broncs & Honky Tonks Rodeo will run this year after all, with the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede announcing Monday that the annual event postponed earlier this year due to COVID will now run Sept. 17-19 at the Grandstand Arena.
The annual spring event is usually held indoors at the Fieldhouse, but after working with the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association, MHES was able to secure September dates to host the rodeo outside at its biggest stage.
“After a successful Summer Pro Rodeo, we are looking forward to welcoming fans back to the grounds for another rodeo,” says MHES general manager Kara Brake. “We encourage families to come out and take in this action-packed event.”
The rodeo will feature saddle bronc, bareback, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, team roping, junior steer riding and breakaway roping.
Event times will be as follows:
– Friday Sept. 17 at 7 p.m.
– Saturday, Sept. 18 at 7 p.m.
– Sunday, Sept. 19 at 1:30 p.m.
Ticket prices are as follows:
– Adult, $20 in all sections, or $45 for a three-day package;
– Children (12 and under), $10 in all sections, or $25 for a three-day package;
– A Sunday Family Package is also available for $40 and includes two adult and two child tickets. These are only available at the Stampede office.
Tickets go on sale this morning at 10 a.m. At mhstampede.com, at 403-527-1234, or directly at the Stampede office.
