Roaring Into Tradition: The Big Fresno Fair Rodeo Rides Back

Pull on your boots — the 2025 Big Fresno Fair kicks off with a bang, and nothing screams Valley tradition like the first-ever Big Fresno Fair Rodeo. On October 3 & 4, the Brian I. Tatarian Grandstand becomes the ultimate arena for bull riding 🐂, bronc riding, barrel racing, team roping, and even the littlest cowboys with Mutton Bustin’ 🐑 (applications are closed, but the excitement is real). Doors swing open at 4:00 PM both nights, wrapping by 6:00 PM — two hours of nonstop adrenaline that will leave you cheering for more.🤠🏇

This isn’t just any rodeo — it’s a showdown of guts, grit, and raw horsepower. Expect high-flying broncs, bulls that test your courage, and barrel racing that will blur the line between skill and chaos. The Grandstand will be packed with energy as fans witness the best riders and livestock the Valley has to offer. 🎟️ Tickets: $15 adults | $7 kids (3–12) | under 2 free (Fair admission sold separately 🎡). Heads up: the First Floor is closed during rodeo, Arenacross, and Monster Trucks — keep your views from the 2nd floor.

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
