Make it Cranbrook: Where the West Rides On

For 38 years, the Cranbrook Pro Rodeo has been more than just an event. It’s a celebration of our heritage, our grit, and our community spirit. Nestled in the heart of the East Kootenay, Cranbrook proudly hosts this annual rodeo as part of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) circuit, drawing top-tier talent from across the country and beyond.

But what makes the Cranbrook Pro Rodeo truly special isn’t just the bucking broncs, barrel racing, or bull riding. It’s the unmistakable feeling of homegrown pride. This is cowboy culture at its finest: authentic, rugged, and rooted in tradition. Families gather, friends reconnect, and visitors get a taste of the warm hospitality that defines our city.

The rodeo is a hidden gem, a place where the dust flies, the crowd roars, and the spirit of the West lives on. It’s where local volunteers work tirelessly behind the scenes, where young riders dream big, and where the community comes together to cheer on the brave athletes who embody the courage and determination that Cranbrook is known for.

In Cranbrook, we don’t just host events. We build experiences that reflect who we are. The Pro Rodeo is a shining example of our commitment to celebrating local culture, supporting regional talent, and creating unforgettable moments. It’s one of the many reasons why people choose to Make it Cranbrook, a place where tradition meets opportunity, and where every gathering is a chance to connect, celebrate, and grow.

So whether you’re a lifelong rodeo fan or a curious first-timer, saddle up and join us next year. Experience the thrill, the community, and the legacy of the Cranbrook Pro Rodeo, and see why Cranbrook is the place to be.
