Why You Should Go: Family fun during the summer often involves a long car trip, complete with hair-pulling, tantrums, and tortured sighs ... plus your kids' backseat shenanigans. Instead of attempting to entertain your family with the license plate game, let the professionals at Mesquite ProRodeo show the whole family a fun time.

What You’ll Love It: This premier Texas western attractions brings together talented professional cowboys at the Mesquite Arena for a night of action-packed, heart-pumping fun known as rodeo. This family-friendly event has something for both children and adults: crazy clowns, brave cowboys, talented cowgirls, fast horses and big bulls. 

What You’ll See: All you buckin’ broncos and wild wranglers will want to pony up and get to the rodeo, which opens with an exciting new laser show. After laser-induced ooo’s and ahhh’s, you’ll get to see the classic rodeo events expected at a championship rodeo: bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronco riding, tie down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding.
