SAN ANTONIO — It's time to rodeo, San Antonio!
The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo runs from February 9-26 and promises everything from bullriding to the best concerts to crazy carnival rides!

Rodeo
The San Antonio is part of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PCRA) and the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA). The PRCA and WPRA rodeo seasons begin on October 1 and end September 30 each year.
The Rodeo Competition is broken into five separate brackets with three rounds per bracket. The highest scores in the brackets will then go to two separate Semi-Finals rounds, and a Wildcard round for those with scores not quite high enough for the Semi-Finals. Semi-Finals and Wildcard highest scores will then go on to the finals on Feb. 25.
