People wanting to attend the rodeo have just one more chance.

This Saturday, July 15, is the last day of the 2023 Taylor Rodeo. Held every year since 1950, the 73rd edition of the rodeo takes place at the Williamson County Expo Center.

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Sanctioned events, such as saddle bronc riding and bull riding, begin around 7:30 p.m.

The final day of the rodeo will end with a musical concert from singer-songwriter Carson Jeffrey. Jeffrey, a country artist, will follow the live action and perform from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Those looking to participate in the action can sign up for different events. The popular Mutton Bustin’ event for children will headline the crowd participant events. Other events include wild steer saddling, kid and adult calf scrambles and a dummy roping contest.

The Taylor Rodeo Association, in collaboration with UHERD Texas, will award belt buckles to the winners of each age group that competed in the dummy roping contest.

Tickets at the gate are $22 for those who are ages 8 and older, $10 for children 3-7 and free for children 2 and under. Parking cost $5.
