A lot can happen in 8 seconds. A champion can be crowned. A bull can take his revenge. And an entire community can come together.
Come celebrate the cowboys of today and the legacy of Black rodeo. Featuring some of today’s bravest riders, nastiest bulls, tastiest food, and live beats, the show will be an experience like no other.
We’ll pay tribute to the legends of Black rodeo, give the stars of today their shot at $60,000 in prize money, and inspire the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls.
Founded by Portland-based photojournalist Ivan McClellan, the first Black rodeo in the Pacific Northwest offers an immersive experience into the world of professional rodeo competitions alongside delicious food, music, and family fun. Last year’s inaugural event was a major success seeing a sold out crowd of 2,500 thrilled and inspired by Black cowboy culture. This year promises to be even bigger and better with 7,200 attendees .
