The South East Melb Rodeo continues the heart-pounding Ringers Western Stampede Series, Australia’s largest rodeo series, proudly presented in association with John Gill & Sons Rodeo and the APRA.
Watch Australia’s best cowboys and cowgirls go head-to-head in a high-impact lineup of bull riding and barrel racing, with thousands of dollars in prize money up for grabs. But the action doesn’t stop at the arena – wherever you turn, something’s happening. From Rodeo Runway bringing the style, to boot-scooting line dancing, roaming entertainment, kids’ activities, and a buzzing mix of food trucks and bars, the entire site is alive from start to finish. Add in live DJs, dance performances, and a headline set from Cush Ryder, and you’ve got a non-stop, all-day experience that keeps the energy high no matter where you are.
