LOCAL ENTRIES
Even though the Cochrane Rodeo is an FCA Sanctioned event, that doesn’t mean you cannot participate! You can register in local entries, mutton busting, wild pony races, and mini broncs!
DUST OFF YOUR WESTERN SPIRIT
WORLD CLASS RODEO
WITH A SMALL-TOWN FEEL.
The 56th annual Cochrane Lions Labour Day Rodeo will be hosted through the September long weekend. Still considered one of the toughest Amateur Rodeos in Canada and FCA-sanctioned, we follow closely in the footsteps of the infamous Calgary Stampede. In fact, you can expect to see many of the same riders & stock showcased there, but in a much more intimate setting.
