Beginning in 1999, the Wild West Yellowstone Rodeo has grown over the last few years. Once put on in a small arena in town, the event now takes place at a larger rodeo arena located just four miles west of West Yellowstone just off Highway 20. The rodeo performances begin at 8 PM each night and continue until all scheduled events have been completed. Typical events include barebacking riding, team roping, saddle bronc riding, breakaway roping, bull riding, and even a special “calf Scramble” for the kids. The rodeo takes place evenings from early July through late August.
