Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo 2025

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, often called "RodeoHouston," began in 1932 as the Houston Fat Stock Show and Livestock Exposition. Its mission was to promote agriculture while also supporting Texas youth through scholarships and education.

Since its early days, it has grown into one of the world’s largest livestock and rodeo events, attracting millions of visitors annually and offering a lineup of activities that mix Western heritage with Texas-sized entertainment!

In 2003, NRG Park became the home of RodeoHouston. Its advanced facilities have elevated both rodeo and concert experiences. NRG Park has several venues, including the NRG Stadium and NRG Center.

NRG Stadium is known for hosting top musical acts; past performers include Elvis Presley, Beyoncé, and Willie Nelson!

The event takes place from March 4 to 23! Pack your bags and head to Houston!
