As one of Australia’s most cherished community traditions, families and friends will unite to honour the rodeo’s remarkable 80-year legacy.
McPhee Rodeo Company, in partnership with the Kyabram AH and P Society, will host the event at the Kyabram Showgrounds on Friday, March 6, 2026.
The Kyabram Rodeo is saddling up for another thrilling event, with site bookings and pre-ticket sales now available.
With the rodeo’s surging popularity, organisers anticipate record-breaking crowds and a 20 per cent increase in rider participation across all events.
Embracing a family-friendly atmosphere, the gates welcome visitors from 3pm, with the main spectacle roaring to life at 7pm.
The earlier gate opening times will give families time to embrace the kids’ inner cowboys and cowgirls, explore the rodeo side show, and dine on local food trucks, before all the action starts.
