Gem State Stampede

Coeur d'Alene's PRCA Rodeo packs the Findlay Arena for each of their four performances.
Every year, the series kicks off on Thursday with the Xtreme Bulls competition. "Action-packed" doesn't do it justice. Between all the bull rides and the Mutton Bustin' Finals, you're sure to have a great time.
Friday and Saturday are always a hit with the full rodeo themed to Tough Enough to Wear Pink (Fri) and Patriot Night (Sat). Buy your tickets early, these shows ALWAYS sell out before they begin!
The Sunday matinee show is considered family day and offers free Bleacher seating.
2023 marks 37 years of the Gem State Stampede. Each year it gets bigger and better.
Don't miss out on this great event: August 24-27, 2023.
