A Colorado Mountain Tradition

The Evergreen Rodeo is a Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) event that takes place in the beautiful mountain community of Evergreen, Colorado, every summer on Father's Day weekend. Members of the all-volunteer Evergreen Rodeo Association work year-round to ensure that our rodeo is one of the best.

Our Rodeo Weekend includes a fabulous Saturday morning parade through downtown Evergreen, an evening rodeo performance on Saturday and an afternoon performance on Sunday. Come celebrate our western heritage and join in this Colorado mountain tradition.

Long Live Evergreen Rodeo!

Rodeo became popular in Colorado over a century ago with the advent of the cattle industry. Evergreen, a logging and mountain ranch community that spread out for miles around Bear Creek had its share of local rodeo rivalry.

The Evergreen Rodeo is the genuine article with roots going back to those early days. Former Evergreen Rodeo members, Lucille Counselman and Louise Hendryx, joined in impromptu rodeos in the 20’s and 30’s for Troutdale Resort guests such as Tom Mix, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Ethel Merman and wealthy Easterners. Local hands and residents held those rodeos and the rodeo parade, for the entertainment of themselves and visitors. They still do. Today’s parade and rodeo are non-profit affairs, organized by local volunteers with proceeds going to charity.
