Welcome to the Benton Rodeo

The Benton Rodeo is proud to be recognized as one of the very best among more than 65 rodeos east of the Mississippi River — as voted by the American Professional Rodeo Association. This premier event draws talented cowboys and cowgirls from across the United States and Canada, all coming together to showcase their skills and compete with the best of the best.

The Benton Area Rodeo Association, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to promoting tourism in the Benton area while supporting local charities, service groups, fire companies, ambulance associations, scouts, and churches through fundraising opportunities. The rodeo continues to grow each and every year — so don’t stay home! Come join the excitement and be part of this incredible event. You won’t be disappointed!


Great Food & Local Favorites

No rodeo experience is complete without great food — and we’ve got something for everyone! At the main food stand, enjoy hot dogs, burgers, soups, hot sausage sandwiches, halushki, and refreshing drinks. Grab a slice of plain or pepperoni pizza at the pizza stand. Craving crispy fresh-cut french fries? Stop by the Benton Fire Company stand.


For your sweet tooth, try funnel cakes from the Benton Rodeo Association. Enjoy ice cream and roasted peanuts from the Benton Lions Club, or treat yourself to a thick milkshake from the Benton Little League. You can also find nachos plus at the Boy Scout Troop #51 stand and snow cones from The Benton FFA.


Official Merchandise

Before you head home, don’t forget to stop by the Official Rodeo Association Souvenir Stand, located next to the ticket office. Pick up your official Benton Rodeo T-shirts and take a piece of the excitement home with you!
