Residents of Placerville can find drinks, food, and entertainment at the El Dorado Rodeo Stampede when it comes to the city in August. The championship-level rodeo features two days of rodeo competitions and entertainment.
The event begins with a kick-off night. Before the gates to the rodeo open, visitors can enjoy food, drinks, and a friendly atmosphere meant to ramp up the excitement for the events themselves.
One of the most popular events is professional bull riding. Some of the toughest riders will face off against unpredictable bulls as they try to stay on their backs for a full eight seconds. The bronc riding showdowns are also popular. These experienced riders battle to maintain control and keep riding their bucking horses. Next up is the stampede showcase, which lets young cowboys and cowgirls take to the rodeo ring. Finally, the rodeo queens will make an appearance. These ambassadors of the event represent the spirit, tradition, and heritage that go into the event.
Events like this often use flyer printing services to advertise beforehand.
Gates open at 4:30 p.m. each day, with pre-rodeo activities starting at 6:30 p.m. and the professional rodeo starting at 7:00 p.m. A full schedule of events is available on the rodeo's website.
The El Dorado Rodeo Stampede takes place Friday, August 28 and Saturday, August 29 at 100 Placerville Drive in Placerville. Tickets are available on the website and start at $34 per person. Platinum pro passes are also available with added perks.
