The Five Time Winner of the PRCA “Best Small Rodeo of the Year” award is back! Kick up your heels and enjoy some western hospitality at the Estes Park Rooftop Rodeo!

Six days of festivities begin with the traditional Rooftop Rodeo Parade, 10:30 a.m. July 10th, in downtown Estes Park. The 2012 parade theme is ‘Color our Rodeo – Red, White & Blue’. There are over 70 entries including floats, covered wagons, and bands to entertain all.

Don’t miss other events like the Golf Tournament Benefit on Wednesday, July 11, 8:00 am at the Estes Park 18 Hole Golf Course, 1080 S St Vrain Ave. It’s a great opportunity to play a few rounds for a worthwhile charity, the Estes Park Western Heritage Inc.

Kids get to join the fun in the center arena with Mutton Bustin’ and Calf Scramblin’. Kids can rustle up sheep and calves in a fun and safe environment. It’s always a big hit with spectators.

Each evening the rodeo performances begin at 7:30 pm, gates opening at 5:30. Friday, the 13th, the Rooftop Rodeo presents ‘Patriots Night at the Rodeo’ dedicated to the men and women who protect and serve us all. On Sunday, the 16th, please feel welcome to join the Cowboy Church Service at the Fairgrounds grandstands, 10:00 am, open to everyone.
