Rodeo Venues in Colorado

Rodeo runs deep in Colorado, and this page collects the arenas, fairgrounds and event centers where it happens. Expect outdoor arenas with grandstands, covered or indoor arenas that extend the season, and county fairgrounds that come alive each summer.

Most rodeo action in the state falls between late spring and early fall, built around county fairs, town celebrations and pro and amateur circuits. Spectators can expect events like bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing, team roping and breakaway roping, with youth and high school rodeos filling many weekends. Indoor arenas on the Front Range and the plains keep roping practices, jackpots and horse shows going in colder months.
