St. Paul Rodeo Schedule

In 1935, eight St. Paul businessmen and farmers came together to start the St. Paul Rodeo at the St. Paul City Park. Since then, the annual rodeo consistently brought in cowboys from all over the country to compete.

According to the St. Paul Rodeo Website: “The St. Paul Rodeo will continue to bring a slice of the old West to the north Willamette Valley each 4th of July and to give those who attend a look at one of the nation’s finest professional rodeos and some of the most exciting and colorful entertainment offered anywhere.”

The St. Paul Rodeo is a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) sanctioned event. Athletes are competing for grand pool of $500,000, and top competitors can win up to $10,000.

There is dispersed parking around St. Paul, and camping on site for those who want to make a weekend out of it. Parking ranges from $10 to $15, and may be higher at private lots.
