KIDS’ DAY: Sunday June 21, 2026 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Reno Livestock Events Center Indoor Arena
Parents, bring those aspiring cowboys and cowgirls on down and join the Reno Rodeo volunteers and participants on a day just for the kids. Kids’ Day features interactive activities and live displays. We have something for kids of all ages including milking a cow, pictures with rodeo royalty, horseback rides, animals galore and so much more. Kids’ Day is also proud to host the 8th Annual Mutton Bustin’ Championship.
Reno Rodeo Kids’ Day is a free event hosting local businesses and non-profits to aid in educating kids on the tradition of rodeo, agriculture and the western lifestyle. Please join us for a fun-filled day dedicated to the kids in our community.
