The Delisle Rodeo Committee is once again excited to bring back the Delisle Rodeo to our community for the 2023 year at the newly named IAP Delisle Rodeo Arena. Our committee would like to thank Innovative Ag Performance for partnering with the Delisle Rodeo as our Arena Sponsor.

Our rodeo is proud to once again be partnered with the Canadian Cowboy’s Association (CCA). The CCA has been a major stepping stone for the careers of many professional rodeo champions and contestants attending the Canadian Finals Rodeo and National Finals Rodeo We welcome these professional caliber rodeo athletes to Delisle!

We look forward to record breaking attendance and competitor entries, 10 rodeo events from barrel racing to bronc riding, the amazing volunteers, roaring laughter of the wild pony races, and being a family and community focused weekend. The Delisle Rodeo has become an iconic summer event in Saskatchewan – a symbol of community spirit, volunteerism, and the heart of western values.

Saturday morning at 10:00am features the slack performance, which is free to spectators. A ball tournament will also be taking place at the old ball diamonds next to the rodeo grounds on Saturday, July 15 at 9am. Saturday evening we once again hold a cabaret at the rodeo grounds featuring The Company starting at 9:00pm.

Tickets can be purchased that night for $20.
