We're now in a little break in rodeos in the Gallup, New Mexico area. Next month, another one will be held at Red Rock Park.

It is part of the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, which will be held from August 4 to 14. To access the rodeo schedule, go here.

I have attended the Ceremonial and its rodeo each year it was held since I moved to New Mexico in 2018. I plan on attending this year's Ceremonial.
