Looking for a summer evening that packs in adrenaline, cowboy charm, and small-town magic? Welcome to the Williams Night Rodeo—an event that’s quickly become one of Northern Arizona’s must-see traditions.
Born from the Heart of the West
Launched in 2024, the Williams Night Rodeo was created by the Keith Cattle Company with a simple but powerful mission: to bring the community together and celebrate the heritage of the American West. And just like a good story passed down through generations, it took off fast.
Now entering its second season, this grassroots event has already earned a loyal following of locals and visitors alike. It’s not just a rodeo—it’s a Friday and Saturday night ritual under the stars.
Where the Action Happens
Held at the Williams Rodeo Grounds at 750 N. Airport Rd., this is where the spirit of the Old West comes alive each weekend in July and August, starting July 11th. You’ll feel it the moment you walk in: the buzz of anticipation, vendors selling delicious snacks and refreshments, and the wide-eyed wonder of kids seeing their first bull ride.

More Than a Sport—A Celebration
What makes this rodeo special isn’t just the dust and drama in the arena—it’s the people in the stands. Ranchers and tourists sit side-by-side. Kids wave at rodeo queens. Friends reconnect over funnel cakes and root beer floats.
It’s a place where stories are shared, traditions are honored, and visitors get a true taste of cowboy culture in one of the most iconic towns on Route 66.
