Recognized as one of the top five large outdoor rodeos in the nation since 2000, the Tri-State Rodeo has reached another milestone—its 2025 induction into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. The celebrated event, which also features the Jim Baier Chute Out, continues to draw the world’s top rodeo athletes and fans alike.
“Every year, we aim to provide something unique and enjoyable for our long-time attendees while also attracting newcomers who may not have experienced the event before,” said Bobby Hotkamp, Chairman of the Tri-State Rodeo. “2025 is going to be unforgettable!”
In addition to four nights of thrilling rodeo competition, visitors can expect four evenings of national entertainment on the Great River Health Stage, followed by live music from top bands inside the Bud Light Stockyard.
The entertainment kicks off on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, with country star Nate Smith. In just a few years, Smith has amassed more than 1.6 billion career streams and topped the charts with back-to-back No. 1 singles, “Whiskey on You” and “World on Fire.” Tickets are on sale now at www.tristaterodeo.org
