  1. Is oakdale a co sanctioned even? Or just prca

    • OakdaleRodeo

      So Sorry that we are just getting around to replying, Clay. But the Oakdale Rodeo is a PRCA only event. Thank you for writing!

    • Liz

      What time does the gates open so we can see all the vendors and get food etc. before the rodeo starts?

      • Saddle Club

        Gates open at 11AM both Saturday and Sunday. If you want to visit the vendors Friday after they setup, the gates will be open 8am – 5pm with $5 fee to enter.

        • It’s raining today. Will the rodeo still start and finish during the rain or will it be postponed to another day?

          • Saddle Club

            Rodeo always continues at scheduled time, whether rain or shine 🙂

    • is the rodeo rain or shine??

      • Saddle Club

        The Rodeo always runs as scheduled, rain or shine 🙂

  2. I would love to attend pay for a ticket and take photos of the performances. I’ve been attending roping, rodeos, cuttings and all for several years. I have a passion to capture very special photographs of the Cowboys and Cowgirls. I’m not asking to be paid or trying to sell the pictures. I just want to ask for a photo badge (I will buy a ticket for entrance) to get some awesome pictures of the events and you can post them if they are good enough. What do I need to do? ;0) Thank you Janet

    • OakdaleRodeo

      Hi Janet! Sorry we are just getting to reply! We are just learning how to access our new website a little more. We didn’t have anyone really managing it for us the last year. For press pass info regarding the 2017 Oakdale Rodeo please contact Bambi Porter at gypsycowgirlkitchen@yahoo.com. Thanks!

  3. I am interesting in being a vendor at your 2017 rodeo but am having a hard time finding any information about it.

    • OakdaleRodeo

      Janie, please check our information tab for an updated concessions form application. Our concessions chair information is on there as well. Thanks for contactng us!

  4. I am with the San Dimas Western Days Rodeo and I am interested in attending. Do you allow visiting committees?

  5. What are the requirements to sign up for the barrel racing this year?

    • OakdaleRodeo

      • D

        What if it rains in event day?

        • Saddle Club

    • OakdaleRodeo

  7. Ron

    I hope you can help. I just downloaded the entry form and rules for the parade and I cannot find anywhere on those forms, the amount of the entry fees for the parade. I represent the Shriner from Livermore and we plan on attending, but need the amount of the fees.

    My thanks in advance
    Ron Burch

    • OakdaleRodeo

      Hi Ron! The fees are $25. Sorry about that. I am updating the forms on the website now 🙂

  8. Hi, just bought tickets for next week and was wondering if we can bring in our own food/drinks in a cooler?

    • OakdaleRodeo

      Hi there! No coolers are allowed. You can bring in food and drinks (that are unopened).

  9. Do you have a rodeo contestant list on your website?

    • OakdaleRodeo

      We do not, sorry!

  10. Can I bring in like a Subway Sandwich and a drink that is not open… In a small backpack or bag. Thank you

  11. Kim

    Our tickets were emailed. Will they scan are phones at the gate or do we have to print them out.

  12. Hi,
    I am part of the Orange Blossom 4H group. We have our booth up inside the grounds each year. I am unable to pull up the vendor/concession application? I can see the queens application but unable to print out the concesion application. Please help.
    Thank you so much.

    • OakdaleRodeo

      I do not have an updated copy for the website. The chairman, Danny Vigil’s email is vig2d@aol.com. If you contact him, he may be able to email you a copy.

  13. Good evening! I would love to be a vender at the rodeo. I tried to find the contact us tab and I didn’t give a name or email to contact. Thank you so much!

    • Saddle Club

      Hi there! The concessions contract and information is on our information tab. Please contact Danny Vigil to see if we still have space. His number is on the application.

  14. Hi there,
    Can you pretty please share a list of events for Saturday August 14, 2021 starting at 5:30? It appears to be missing from your site. Thank you so much!

    • Saddle Club

      Hi there! The rodeo beings at 5:30PM…we do not publish the order of events. The rodeo should be over before 10PM.

  15. I’m wondering how the barrel racing works for both days. We have some elderly people coming and we are not sure how it works. Qualifiers and main on same days?
    Thanks for your help.

    • Saddle Club

      Hi Janet! We technically have 3 days of barrel racing. Friday slack, Saturday and Sunday performances. Each barrel racer only has one go and they draw which day they are up.

  16. Hi, I was hoping to get in contact with someone regarding a traveling Entertainment Act I offer that might be a great addition to your rodeo weekend. Could you please either send me an email or point me in the right direction of who to speak to? Thanks!

  17. Am I wrong or is this Easter weekend

    • Saddle Club

      Thank you for your inquiry. The board is aware of the Easter weekend, but it is our “assigned weekend”. This occurs every 6 years or so.

    • Will be in Oakdale that week and would like to get tickets. Already sold out? Any tickets at box office.
      Coming from Reno

      • Saddle Club

        We will have our tickets ready to sell on our website in a few months. Please check back often in 2024, and remember that our website is the official site to purchase tickets. We do not sell our tickets thru other 3rd party vendors.

  18. Bri

    Are there tickets for sale or do we have to wait for a certain date for them to go on sale?

    • Saddle Club

      Thank you for your inquiry on the tickets. We are currently in the process of getting the tickets ready, setting up the link and locations for purchase. Keep checking back to our site. We hope to have this ready in a few weeks.

      • Is there ever an option to purchase a booth to sit at during the rodeo?

        • Saddle Club

          I believe you referring to the “box seats” for the rodeo? If so, they are already sold out.

  19. Hello, I manage an optometric practice here in town, we were considering participating as one of your vendors teamed with Costa Del Mar Sunglasses. We just found out our Costa Rep is only free that Sunday during the rodeo. Is it possible to only attend 1 day?

    • Saddle Club

      Please submit your application on vendor page and mention in the “free text area” your request. You can also email this question to: vig@oakdalerodeo.com

  20. We are interested in buying box seats or reserving an entire box for this year‘s rodeo. What are our options? We would be willing to become a sponsor if that is required.

    • Saddle Club

      I forwarded your request to the appropriate committee chairperson. You should be contacted soon. Thank you.

  21. Hi, I wanted to know if your rodeo has contestant entry forms for the categories of Junior Bull rider, Steer rider or Calf rider . I plan on attending your rodeo this year and I’m trying to get my 9 year old soninvolved in this as many junior performances possible. Just let me know either way we will be attending your rodeo this year.
    Thanks

    • Saddle Club

      I apologize, but we do not offer junior performances at our Pro Rodeo in Oakdale. We would love to see you and your son at our rodeo though!

      • We are the Devil Mountain Brigade. A group of gentlemen that march in parades through Northern California and also in Carson city Nv. We are interested in participating in your parade, and we are wondering if you would allow us to march with our breach open 12 gauge shotguns. We shoot blanks at different intervals, single shot, row fire, column fire, and volleys, while we are walking the parade route.
        If we are allowed to participate, we do ask to be either last (preferable) or first, so as not to bother the livestock.

        Thank you for your consideration,
        Ron Bautista
        Devil Mountain Brigade
        Commander

        • Saddle Club

          Please fill out the parade forms on our “Parade Page” under Events on the website. They will review your request and reach out to you.

  22. Information for the Oakdale Rodeo on 4/8/2023 say gates open at 11:00 and events start at 1:30, but doesn’t indicate how long events last. Can you give me an approximate end time? (Coming in from Sacramento and we’re not sure if we need to book a hotel.)

    • Saddle Club

      Hi Connie. This is a two day event and many do stay the night if they live a long distance away. The rodeo events Saturday night should end by 6pm, and the rodeo dance will start at 7pm Saturday night. The Sunday events will begin with Cowboy Church at 10am. Grand Entry will begin at 1:30.

  23. Hey! I was wondering who i need to get in contact with to talk about doing a collaboration with the Oakdale Rodeo!

  24. I cannot find a phone number or any way to contact someone to get more information about participating in the rodeo parade. I’ve filled out the forms over a week ago, but have received no feedback. Who can I contact? The deadline is fast approaching.

    • Saddle Club

      You can contact Sutton Price at oakdaleparade@gmail.com

      I can check our Web Forms to make sure we received the proper application. Also, the fees must also be turned in before the deadline too.

    • Saddle Club

      Amber, your forms are uploaded. Just make sure your entry payment was sent. Our parade coordinator should be reaching out to the participants soon.

  25. Hi I would like info on the parade. I understand tomorrow is the deadline. Who can I contact besides Sutton? I have tried to message her on Facebook multiple times and have not been able to get a response.

  26. What do senior tickets cost and what age is senior?

    • Saddle Club

      Excellent questions. I updated our site to reflect the Etix information: Seniors are 62 years of age and older. The ticket prices are the same as listed on the website. BUT – there are discounts for seniors and military AT THE GATE ONLY.

  27. It appears that children under 7 are FREE, is that so?

    • Saddle Club

      Yes. That is correct

  28. Has this event always started so late in the day? Also, why did the roping change locations? And time? We’ve looked forward to coming all year but this has put a damper on our drive. Are u planning to keep this schedule for future rodeos? Just inquiring.

    • Saddle Club

      We apologize for responding after the event. We didn’t have time to address all the questions during the rodeo weekend. Our Grand Entry always start in the late afternoon and the event tends to end around 5pm both days.

  29. Hello,
    When is the Vendor sign up for Rodeo weekend? I tried looking for a contact us tab but none where available

    • Saddle Club

      We will be updating and preparing for the 2024 Rodeo next year. Stay tune and check back after the 1st of the year. The various pages, including the vendor page, will be updated and noted with the 2024 updated information.

  30. Hello,
    My name is Joana and I’m with MoHill Ranch style Boutique, I would like in inquire in a vendor space for Oakdale Rodeo 2024, pls advise.

    Thank you

    Joana

    • Saddle Club

      Please go to the vendor section of our website

  31. Is there going to be mutton bustin this year? And if so how do I sign my kids up and what’s the entry fee?

    • Saddle Club

      Tyler, we do not offer the mutton bustin’ event at our rodeo.

  32. When 2024 tickets will be available for purchase? at the moment the tickets link brings me to 2023 event.

    • Saddle Club

      Hi Juli. We do not have our tickets for 2024 set up yet through the company. We hope to have tickets and the link on our website within this next month.

    • Saddle Club

      Our ticket sales are now available online 🙂 Our website only… other sites are not legitimate and / or scalping our tickets

  33. When do the tickets go on sell

    • Saddle Club

      Tickets are available online. Please go to our website: oakdalerodeo.com
      The main page will have a ticket link and we have a webpage just for tickets: https://oakdalerodeo.com/?page_id=98

  34. Ren

    If I bought tickets are they good for either day? Saturday or Sunday?

    • Saddle Club

      Yes – they are good for either Saturday OR Sunday

  35. Hi! I see we can purchase tickets but my question is if we have to buy tickets for both days or is the ticket valid for one day only? Thank you

  36. Hello! I have a 6 year old but tickets show ages 7-12. What is the price for children 6 and below? Also, is there a military discount? Thank you

    • Saddle Club

      Children 6 and under are Free. Military must be in uniform to receive their discount at the ticket booth ($10 / ticket)

  37. Hi, I was hoping to attend the rodeo this year but unfortunately just had surgery. Is there wheelchair friendly seating? If so, will I be seated separately from my group or will they be able to sit with me? Thanks!

    • Saddle Club

      We will have golf carts to get your to “handicapped” seating at the top of the stands. There should be plenty of room for your family and friends. If the stands are filling up, our rodeo attendees are usually very friendly and accommodating, thus willing to move to allow your group sit with you. I would recommend getting there well before the Grand Opening which starts at 1:30pm

  38. Is tailgating allowed at the rodeo?

    • Saddle Club

      You are more than welcome to party at your truck (no BBQ). Remember we do not live stream our rodeo.

  39. Rain is expected this Saturday, all the people are going to go on Sunday, is there limited space? or are they going to move the dates?

    • Saddle Club

      We keep our schedule the same for both Saturday and Sunday – Rain or shine.

  40. I purchased tickets on stubhub but it says the date is 4/13, can we use this ticket if we only go on the 14th?

    • Saddle Club

      Our website had the official ticket purchase link. I want to say they may work?? I cannot guarantee that they will work as we do not sell to StubHub

  41. Lu

    Are you able to tailgate at your car for the rodeo?

    • Saddle Club

      Of course. Just no BBQ / flames 🙂

  42. Your website is a mess
    You claim you dont have a listing of events????
    Ive looked over your entire site to TRY to find when the parade is.
    Its a big part of the rodeo?
    You dont say anything about it only that you dont list it.
    How stupid is that??

    • Saddle Club

      I am sorry you are having difficulties navigating the website. The menu is at the top with drop down menus. One of the menu items is “Parade”

  43. Are outside food and drinks allowed in?

    • Saddle Club

      I am sorry, just like other professional events, no outside food please
