SPOTLIGHT: California Rodeo Salinas

The California Rodeo Salinas has been a large part of the Salinas and Monterey County Communities for over 100 years. This event not only has a huge economic impact on local businesses, but also benefits local non-profit organizations and community groups each year by providing opportunities to raise funds, gives the community a sense of pride and identity, and puts Salinas on the map for having one of the top 15 professional rodeos in the US and the largest one in California. The California Rodeo Association is proud to impact the community in such a positive way.

The California Rodeo Salinas will take place this weekend, July 17–20, 2025, marking its 115th year. Enjoy this storied celebration of Western heritage at the Salinas Sports Complex.
