For over 120 years, the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo has been more than just a summer event, it’s a living piece of our town’s Western heritage. Born from the ranching roots that shaped this valley, the rodeo is where locals and visitors alike gather to celebrate grit, tradition, and community under the lights of Brent Romick Arena. From the first burst of fireworks to the last bull ride of the night, it’s a true taste of Steamboat’s soul, and in 2025, it’s back and better than ever.
