What the rodeo is

The club calls the rodeo “one of the area’s oldest and largest charitable events.” It is sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, and draws ranked competitors to Clarksville for three nights. The 2026 show featured announcer Trey Windhorst, clown, barrelman and specialty act Ryder Kiesner, and stock from Universal Rodeos, the club’s May 2026 home page showed.

The nightly events include:

  • Bareback riding
  • Steer wrestling
  • Team roping
  • Saddle bronc riding
  • Tie-down roping
  • Barrel racing

The money goes to the Clarksville Kiwanis Foundation’s programs for children, the club says: a Christmas party with toys and clothing for hundreds of Montgomery County children, a book for every third grader in the county (more than 3,200 students), an “Interview a Veteran” student contest, and three high school Key Clubs, among others.

Tickets

  • Where: only on the rodeo’s own site. The club warns that tickets bought anywhere else may not be accepted.
  • Price: $25 for adults and $15 for children 2 to 12; children under 2 are free if they do not need a seat, the FAQ says. Check the 2027 price when sales open.
  • Limits: online sales are capped at 2,000 people a night. Show the QR code from your emailed ticket, printed or on your phone, at the gate.
  • Refunds: online tickets can be refunded up to 24 hours before the performance by emailing info@clarksvillekiwanis.org.
  • Sellouts: the club says Friday and Saturday are normally very busy, and both sold out in 2026, so buy early for those nights.

Getting there and parking

The arena is on Rossview Road, east of I-24 Exit 8. Parking is free, outdoors, on gravel or grass at the rodeo grounds. Ask the attendant at the entrance about accessible parking; the club says there is no dedicated accessible seating, but all ground-level seating has a clear view.

What to know

  • Seating: bleachers, first come, first served. Standing room opens once seats fill. Dirt can fly into the stands during barrel racing, so skip the center and bottom row if that bothers you.
  • Not allowed: coolers, large bags, glass and outside food (food for young children is fine).
  • Strollers: allowed but not encouraged, because the grounds are dirt and gravel.
  • Shoes: the arena is dirt, sand and straw. The club advises against sandals and Crocs.
  • Food and drink: two concession areas sell items such as pizza, popcorn and funnel cakes. Vendor purchases use tickets sold on the grounds (cash or card). Alcohol, including products from local distilleries, requires an ID check and an armband.
  • Kids: there is a petting zoo; the club asks that children not reach through the arena gates or play on the open-ended bleachers.
  • Rain: the arena, vendor area and entry gate are covered. Come ready for wet ground.
  • More in May: see our Memorial Day and Mother’s Day pages.
