Rodeo fans, as well as thousands of Texas 4-H and FFA youth, are eagerly awaiting the kickoff of the 125th Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo as it begins its 23-day run Jan. 14. Offering millions in scholarships and livestock premiums, as well as a purse of more than $1 million during the FWSSR PRORODEO Tournament, the Stock Show sets the pace for the professional rodeo and livestock competition season.

“We are already experiencing the excitement our fans have for the Stock Show,” said FWSSR President and General Manager Brad Barnes. “Tickets sales have been very brisk with many of our rodeo and concert performances in near sellouts, and entries in our livestock and horse shows have also been at high levels. Clearly, getting back to the Stock Show is on the calendar for thousands of folks across the state and across the country.”

Rodeo returns to Dickies Arena where the fan experience is second to none. There are 25 rodeo performances giving fans numerous options to take in the sights, sounds and excitement of Fort Worth’s iconic celebration of the western way of life.

Stock Show rodeos include the Best of the West Ranch Rodeo (Jan. 14 and 15), Best of Mexico Celebraciòn (Jan. 16), Cowboys of Color Rodeo (Jan. 17), Bulls’ Night Out Xtreme Bull Riding (Jan. 18 and 19), Texas Champions Challenge Rodeo (Jan. 20) and the FWSSR PRORODEO Tournament (Jan. 21-Feb. 5). Ticket information is online.

After the successful debut of its Auditorium Concert Series in 2020, the Stock Show has grown the series to feature Grammy- and Academy Award-winning artists, including legendary rock band Kansas; alternative country music band The Old 97’s; country music artist Clint Black; comedian Jeff Foxworthy; the Fort Worth Symphony with vocalist Tony Vincent performing the Music of Queen; and Ryan Bingham.

Building on the celebration of the state’s Hispanic roots, the FWSSR Texas Invitational Mariachi Competition will return to showcase top high school mariachi teams from across the state. The Stock Show has also expanded upon the beauty of the Escaramuza women’s drill team competition to include the thrilling Charro Cala, featuring Alejandro Goñi Rojo, one of the top horse and Cala trainers from Mexico.

Horse competition fans will also enjoy the return of the popular Mustang Magic competition, as well as Mustang Showcase training clinics. Collegiate ranch horse teams from across Texas and Arkansas will take on a new contest during the debut of Bridles and Brains, a new concept in collegiate ranch horse competition that challenges both equestrian and communication skills.

Stock Show fans will enjoy the Moo-seum experience that provides access to neighboring museums, courtesy of Central Market. A general admission to the Stock Show will also include access to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and Cattle Raisers Museum.
