Letter from the Publisher: 10 years of PBR Nearly 15 years ago Big Sky PBR was a dream discussed tableside with Andy and Jacey Watson; a rendering showed an arena in the shadow of Lone Peak, and a bold sunset casting a colorful sky. I could only imagine the crowd of cheering fans.

Fans have been gracious in supporting this event, sponsors have shown up in countless ways to make this event a success, and PBR has recognized us as Event of the Year seven times over!
Let’s hope we can celebrate this event together another 10 years from now – imagine the continued legacy of fun, goodwill, and connection this event will produce for our incredible community.
The original premise of Big Sky PBR was to bring an authentic, fun event to Big Sky to celebrate community while also raising money for important causes – all enjoyed amongst a setting that Mother Nature has blessed us with. Ten years later Big Sky PBR is a thriving, sold-out event
