Get ready, Ballarat– the rodeo is coming to town. The Ballarat Rodeo rolls into the Ballarat Showgrounds, delivering a full day of high-energy entertainment, world-class rodeo action, and country hospitality.

Watch Australia's best cowboys and cowgirls go head-to-head in a jam-packed lineup of bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback, and barrel racing, with thousands of dollars in prize money up for grabs. Whether you're a diehard rodeo fan or just after a great day out, there's something for everyone - from the thundering hooves and dust of the main arena to delicious food trucks, bars, kids' activities, and live music once the sun goes down.

The Ballarat Rodeo is part of the national Stampede Series, one of Australia's premier rodeo circuits, and promises an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

Don't miss your chance to experience the excitement, the atmosphere, and the adrenaline of a true country rodeo – right here in Ballarat. Grab your boots, round up your crew, and enjoy the Rodeo.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
