The Houston Rodeo live show is the world’s largest rodeo and livestock exhibition. It’s also Houston’s biggest annual event, drawing crowds of rodeo lovers to the NRG stadium toward the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

The rodeo show is so popular that in 2017, it drew two and a half million visitors, which is far bigger than the population of Houston itself. The show continues to draw hosts of people excited to enjoy Southern-style barbecue, rodeos, and parades, even long after it was founded in 1931.

We put together everything you need to know about saving money and getting cheap Houston Rodeo tickets. Also, figuring out the layout of new stadiums can be confusing and a little frustrating, so skip the headache by checking out our seating chart for the Houston Rodeo.

The nearly three million-person crowd is a far cry from the crowd the rodeo show attracted in its first year. With free barbeque offered after six in the evening, the show drew a crowd of 2,000 over several days. The show didn’t include the parade, rodeo, or Go Texan Day until nearly the 1940s when Bill Blanton took the lead, telling everyone to grow beards and wear spurs.

Today, festival-goers participate in a variety of rodeo events, including a barbecue eating competition, a sheep-riding contest for children, and other activities.

Performers at the Houston Rodeo concert have included:

• Beyonce
• Camila Cabello
• Kane Brown
• Luke Bryan
• George Strait
• Chris Stapleton
• Brad Paisley
• Chris Stapleton
• Taylor Swift
• Cody Johnson
• Garth Brooks
• The Chainsmokers
• Lauren Daigle
• Parker McCollum
• Cody Jinks
• Bun B

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, also known as Rodeo Houston or HLSR, attracted over two million attendees to its 89th edition in 2022.

During the week before the world's largest livestock exhibition, people can visit the 350-acre NRG Park for events.

Attendees often sample almost 3,000 bottles of wine at the International Wine Competition. They also often dress in western attire on Go Texan Day, traditionally held the Friday before the rodeo begins.

Trail riding is one of the most traditional activities at Rodeo Houston, and visitors have been participating in this fun activity since 1952. In 2017, over 3,000 riders participated.

From Thursday to Saturday, at the wood-fire-only barbecue cookoff, the most skilled chef gets crowned the Grand Champion.

The Rodeo Parade kicks off the show on Saturday and runs through downtown Houston. Attendees also often join over 10,000 people in the Rodeo Run, which includes 5k and 10k runs to raise money for the show's scholarship.

The largest crowd usually comes for the annual Go Tejano Day. Tejanos are Tejas and Coahuila descendants who lived in Texas before it became a state. On Go Tejano Day, the performers and the attendees honor indigenous culture through music.

Los Tucanes de Tijuana performed in the 2022 Go Tejano Day. 2022's lineup also included household names such as Sam Hunt, Gwen Stefani, Khalid, Marshmello, and other popular stars.
