Championship rodeo fills five nights in Colorado Springs
Plan a Colorado getaway for Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, combining professional rodeo and military appreciation performances with outdoor recreation and an overnight-friendly summer schedule.
Event details
Norris Penrose Event Center sits at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain, hosting five nights of championship rodeo each July, from bull riding and bronc riding to barrel racing and themed military-appreciation performances. A printed schedule at the gate confirms which themed performance runs on a given night, useful for planning around a favorite.
Because performances repeat across five consecutive nights, families can select whichever evening best fits a broader Pikes Peak region itinerary rather than building an entire trip around one fixed rodeo date, a genuinely flexible structure for a championship-level event.
Traveling competitors and evening performances can anchor a longer Pikes Peak region stay rather than a single rushed visit. Reserve a Colorado Springs-area Stay in advance, pack layers for cooling summer evenings, and add Garden of the Gods or Pikes Peak’s mountain trails to balance rodeo nights with daytime outdoor exploring. It is a well-regarded championship rodeo easy to fold into a broader regional family trip. Evening temperatures drop quickly at this elevation even in July, so pack a light jacket for the arena stands.
