About the Rodeo!

Welcome to The Days of ‘47 Rodeo.  The rodeo experienced great success in 2009 with our move to the Maverik Center in West Valley City.  This year promises to be even more exciting. This is the largest rodeo in Utah and one of our state‘s oldest traditions. This is truly America‘s original extreme sport!

PRCA consistently votes Days of ‘47 Rodeo as one of the country‘s top rodeos.  Professional, nationally ranked cowboys and cowgirls head to Utah to compete for more then $200,000 in prize money as they challenge the Bar T‘s award winning rodeo stock.

The Bar T Rodeo returns to the Days of ‘47 with their world champion livestock.  Bud and Evelyn Kerby are top PRCA rodeo stock contractors and are from Chester, UT.  Events include bareback and saddle bronc riding, bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling and tie-down roping.  Bull riders are protected by PRCA bull fighters and barrel man/rodeo clown Mark Swingler.  Mark always keeps the rodeo audience in stitches-be prepared for anything!

This year‘s entertainment features the return of Wild Cow Milking and, new to the area, Ranch Hand Bronc Riding, which will be the talk of rodeo.  

NEW THIS YEAR!  Look for your $5.00 rodeo ticket on selected nights of the rodeo as well as the traditional family savings deals that make Days of ‘47 Rodeo a family-friendly event for Utah rodeo fans.
