2018's Rodeo Austin promises to be bigger and more fun than ever before, and you don’t have to go far to get there. Located at the Travis County Expo Center, Rodeo Austin has all kinds of new attractions for both kids and older folks.
For starters, the event created a “Kid’s Town” complete with a petting zoo, pig races and a brand-new butterfly exhibit where kids can feed the butterflies.
Austin Rodeo CEO Rob Golding wanted to grow the event to keep up with the growth of Austin.
"Our slogan is where weird meets western so we can pick almost anything that's fun for a family and put it with rodeo,” said Golding.
For the adults, there are rotating local food trailers and a craft beer and wine garden that is ten times larger than last year’s beer garden.
Across the street, there is a tiny homes display. One of the homes even features a built-in deck complete with a fireplace.
Every night of the event features a live music performance. For a list of performers and events, click here.
