The San Antonio Stockshow & Rodeo is a nearly month long celebration of cowboy traditions that include a horse show, livestock show and nightly rodeo. The livestock show features both a junior division and open show with divisions for cattle, goats, sheep, swine and more. The horse show features everything from performance events such as barrel racing to show events featuring Quarter horses, Paint horses, Appaloosa horses and other varieties.
Of course, the main attraction of the festival is always the rodeo. Each nightly rodeo features seven events (bareback riding, steer wrestling, tie-down roping, team roping, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing and bull riding) and a special concert. Just a sample of various musicians performing during the San Antonio Stockshow & Rodeo include Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels Band, Willie Nelson, Cross Canadian Ragweed and more.
