Time to don your Stetson hat, boots and jeans.
Rich with history, the California Salinas Rodeo has been a pivotal part of the area.
For over 100 years cowgirls and cowboys have been competing and delighting rodeo fans from all backgrounds and ages. And now, come Thursday, July 16, the rodeo will kick off in a grand way. Yes, as usual, big names like Miranda Lambert will be featured at the event.
But at its heart, the California Salinas Rodeo remains what it has been for over 100 years: the heart and soul of the Salinas Valley. Most would say that no other event signifies or matches the rodeo, as it brings families and peoples from all backgrounds together for seven days.
See you at the rodeo.
