    BUSTIN’ OUT OF THE CHUTES – TOPPENISH RODEO RETURNS FOR ITS 91ST YEAR THIS FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND!
    The legacy rides on. The Toppenish Rodeo & Livestock Association invites rodeo fans, families,
    and community members from near and far to saddle up for the 91st Annual Toppenish Rodeo,
    presented by The Range, at the Toppenish Rodeo Grounds. 

    Two nights of hoof-stomping, heart-pounding PRCA pro rodeo are set to kick off at 7:30 PM each evening.
    For more than nine decades, the Toppenish Rodeo has been a defining event in Central
    Washington, bringing together tradition, competition, and celebration. As part of the PRCA
    Columbia River Circuit, this rodeo features some of the nation’s top athletes going head-to-head
    with the roughest stock in the Northwest in a fast-paced, high-energy atmosphere. What began
    as a grassroots local gathering in 1934 has evolved into a premier summer event—while
    holding tightly to its hometown roots and the spirit of “where the West still lives.”
    Following last year’s milestone 90th anniversary celebration, the 2026 event promises two
    action-packed nights of PRCA-sanctioned rodeo, live after-parties in the Beer Garden, the
    beloved Wild West Parade, and family-friendly festivities that have made Toppenish a Fourth of
    July tradition for generations.
