Hunter Valley Rodeo
About this event
After attracting a sellout crowd last year, the Hunter Valley Rodeo returns to Maitland Showground on Friday, 9 October as part of the Ringers Western Stampede Series, presented by National Rodeo Co.
Get ready for a massive night of adrenaline-fuelled rodeo action, live entertainment and the very best of country culture.
Inside the arena, some of Australia’s leading cowboys and cowgirls will battle it out across a thrilling program of bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback and barrel racing, with prize money and valuable Ringers Western Stampede Series points on the line.
But the action doesn’t stop at the arena. The event precinct will come alive with live bands, DJs, line dancing, amusement rides, market stalls, great food, cold drinks and a few surprises throughout the night.
The outback stockman himself, Lachie Cosser, will also take to the stage with his band, bringing a huge dose of live country music to the evening.
Whether you’re country at heart, cowboy-curious for the night, bringing the whole family or simply looking for an unforgettable night out with your mates, the Hunter Valley Rodeo has something for everyone.
Come for the rodeo, stay for the music and soak up the atmosphere as Maitland Showground transforms into one of the Hunter Valley’s biggest nights of country entertainment.
Gates open from 4pm, with plenty to do from the moment you arrive, including live music, market stalls, bars, food, amusements and entertainment. Rodeo action commences at 6pm and continues into the evening.
Grab your boots, round up your crew and don’t miss the return of the Hunter Valley Rodeo!
