The dust is ready to fly as the 69th Annual Southeastern Livestock Exposition (SLE) PRCA Rodeo takes over Garrett Coliseum this weekend, March 20–22, 2026. This year’s lineup features world-class Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) action alongside the return of crowd favorite Tim “Wild Thang” Lepard & Team Ghost Riders (monkeys riding dogs), providing high-speed entertainment for fans of all ages. 

Beyond the eight classic professional rodeo events—like Bull Riding and Barrel Racing—and world-class humor from 2026 SLE Rodeo Clown Dusty Myers, attendees can enjoy several free activities. Start the weekend right with the SLE Rodeo Kickoff Parade in Downtown Montgomery at noon on Friday, March 20. Then, before each PRCA Performance, visitors are invited to the SLE Rodeo Fan Zone in Teague Arena for live music and a mechanical bull, or they can learn about Alabama food production at the Ag Education Barn. The Kid’s Corral on-site also offers “little buckaroos” the chance to experience the cowboy lifestyle firsthand. On Sunday, the public is invited to attend Cowboy Church and a free Stockdog Demonstration from TB Stockdogs before the matinee performance.

Tickets are available now via Ticketmaster or the Garrett Coliseum Box Office. Special discounts are available for families, military personnel, and first responders.
