ocated at the Cave Creek Memorial Arena, the Cave Creek Rodeo Days is a PRCA sanctioned rodeo that has made quite an impact in its community since its inauguration in 1977. Consisting entirely of volunteers, the non-profit Cave Creek Rodeo Days, Inc. has been the key to the great praise and success the rodeo receives each year. With goals to preserve the past, present, and future of Cave Creek’s western heritage, the Cave Creek Rodeo Days rodeo has created an avenue for philanthropy in the community. With thousands of visitors each year and help from volunteers, patrons, sponsors, and the community of Cave Creek, the Cave Creek Rodeo Days Organization has had the ability to donate several thousand dollars in the last couple of years. From breast cancer awareness organizations, domestic violence awareness organizations, to veteran aid, many charitable donations have become a reality thanks to this annual rodeo extravaganza.

lovis Rodeo is celebrating its 108th anniversary April 20-24, 2022 in Clovis, California! It just isn’t Spring in California unless you’ve experienced the Clovis Rodeo. It is an integral part of the Clovis community and key to upholding their western heritage. What started out more than 108 years ago as a community event, and then became a 2-day rodeo, has grown into a 5-day event kicking off with bull riding followed by 4-days of PRCA rodeo action, generating an economic impact of more than $15 million for our region. It began as a time to bring the community together and has grown into one of the top 10 Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) rodeos in the nation. With a total winning purse of more than $400,000, they bring in world champion cowboys and cowgirls to team up with some of the best bucking stock in the sport from throughout the country.
