The Clovis Rodeo Plans for the Future
New Entrance for the Rodeo Grounds and More Rodeo in 2020
The dedicated volunteers who make sure the Clovis Rodeo tradition remains a part of the community’s future are hard-at-work putting the finishing touches on this year’s 105th Clovis Rodeo to be held April 25-28, 2019. The same group of volunteers are also busy planning for next year’s rodeo. Always making sure the rodeo grows and gives back to others, while still maintaining the community’s western traditions and the “Clovis Way of Life.”
Kicking things off right for 2020 will be a new entrance for the Clovis Rodeo grounds that will still be off of Clovis Avenue but more in line with 7th Street and where the Centennial Bronze statue stands. On Friday, March 29 Clovis residents will see the old gas station building in front of the grounds raised to make-way for the new entrance that will include four traffic lanes into the rodeo parking lot, creating a more accessible, safer entry and exit for rodeo guests. A new digital message board along Clovis Avenue will be a part of the improvements.
In 2020 the Clovis Rodeo will also be adding a performance day to the scheduled line-up for the 106th Clovis Rodeo that will now take place April 22-26, 2020. Making one of the top rodeos in the nation a five-day event. Next year the Professional Bull Riding will take place on Wednesday, April 22 followed by FOUR DAYS of PRCA Rodeo action! The concerts following the rodeo performances will remain on Thursday and Friday nights. The schedule of all other rodeo events such as the parade and dance will remain as currently scheduled on the Saturday of rodeo week.
