Combining professional rodeo competition with fireworks and family entertainment, it has become one of the region's most cherished Independence Day traditions.

As a PRCA-sanctioned rodeo, the Folsom Pro Rodeo attracts top professional competitors chasing championship standings. Fans can expect the full range of rodeo disciplines, including bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, and barrel racing. The PRCA oversees the sport's official standings at ProRodeo.com.

The rodeo takes place at the Dan Russell Rodeo Arena in Folsom, typically across the days surrounding July 4th. The schedule is built for a full evening out: gates open in the late afternoon, preshow festivities warm up the crowd, and the rodeo runs into the night, capped by a fireworks display that ties the whole celebration to the Independence Day spirit.

What gives the Folsom Pro Rodeo its distinctive charm is the blend of competition and patriotic spectacle. Crowd favorites have included mutton bustin' for young kids, a skydiver delivering a massive American flag, live music, and a lively fairground atmosphere.

For Folsom and the greater Sacramento area, the rodeo is a generational tradition - families return year after year, making it part of their Fourth of July routine. That sense of community and continuity is a big part of why the event has thrived for over 60 years.
