The Okotoks Pro Rodeo is held annually and in 2012 will be celebrating it's 21st year. This non-profit Rodeo is produced entirely by volunteers, hosting contestants and visitors from all over Canada, USA, Europe, Asia, New Zealand & Australia. It will 'take over' the Town of Okotoks with western themed events and activities for the whole family.
FUN FACT: Jay Magnussen was one of the founders of the Okotoks Pro Rodeo back in 1991!
The Okotoks Pro Rodeo brings an element of competition, skill and excitement to our guests for you to see how a part of the west was won.
