Cracker Day Rodeo is a full-send celebration of Florida cracker cowboy heritage. From heart-stopping bull rides to kid-approved mutton bustin’, every second is louder, faster, and grittier than the last.
Whether you’re rodeo-obsessed or just rodeo-curious, this is the night to be in the stands.
We’ve packed the schedule to keep the arena hot and the energy higher than an 8-second ride. Come early, stay late, and don’t blink.
Come hungry, come loud, and come ready to cheer. This is live-action, real dirt, real danger entertainment you can’t stream.
A few quick answers so you can focus on the fun, not the fine print.
Yes. Cracker Day Rodeo is designed for all ages, with family seating areas, kids’ activities, and a no-nonsense security and safety plan. Expect loud noise, dust, and high energy—ear protection is recommended for little ones.
We recommend closed-toe shoes, a light jacket or hoodie for after dark, cash or card for food vendors, and sunscreen for earlier arrivals. Small stadium cushions and clear bags are allowed. Outside food and alcohol are not permitted.
On-site parking is available at $10. Follow event signage and staff directions when you arrive. We recommend arriving around 5:30 minutes for the smoothest experience.
A limited number of tickets may be sold at the gate, but the event regularly sells out. To guarantee entry and secure the section you want, we strongly recommend purchasing tickets online in advance.
