The 88th Llano Open Pro Rodeo rides into town Friday-Saturday, June 7-8. Festivities kick off with a parade through the city’s historic downtown at 4 p.m. Friday.
The action moves to the John L. Kuykendall Arena, 2200 RR 152 West. Events start at 8 p.m. both nights. Admission is $10 for ages 13 and older, $5 for ages 6-12, and free for cowpokes 5 and younger.
Both nights feature classic rodeo events like bull riding, barrel racing, roping, mutton busting, and more. A Saturday night concert and dance with country artist Pauline Reese starts at 9:30 p.m.
This year’s rodeo will be dedicated to the memory of Briley Mitchell, who died in January. Mitchell was a huge supporter of the Llano rodeo scene, local sports, and youth programs. The Texas Spirit Riders will pay tribute to him each night.
