Florida has one of the strongest rodeo traditions in the Southeastern United States. Many events are sanctioned by professional organizations such as the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association), while others reflect long-running community rodeo traditions.
The Florida rodeo calendar typically includes:
- Professional PRCA rodeos
- Championship bull riding (PBR) competitions
- Regional and county fair rodeos
- Youth and amateur rodeo events
- Seasonal western heritage festivals
Peak rodeo season often occurs in late winter and spring, though events are scheduled throughout the year.
