The beautiful, historic city of Auburn has been hosting a rodeo for more than 90 years and we are thrilled to continue this tradition and add another performance, growing the rodeo to three days! This year will feature a night time rodeo on Friday, and regular performances on Saturday and Sunday.
The Gold Country Pro Rodeo is proudly produced by The Rosser family of Flying U Rodeo Company. The rodeo is held at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn, California in the McCann Stadium.
We kick off the Gold Country Pro Rodeo celebration at 6 pm Wednesday night with a dummy roping contest, free hot dogs, and more. The Official Rodeo Parties featuring live entertainment start Friday night after the rodeo.
The rodeo is fun for all ages and is held rain or shine! You don’t want to miss the thrilling excitement of professional bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing, the Flying U Flying Cowboys and much more! So bring your family and friends and have some fun!
Don’t forget to read the Rodeo Guide for FAQ’s, schedules and more.
We look forward to seeing you at the rodeo!
