Get ready to rodeo
After a record-breaking event in 2022, which saw entries top out at 956, the highest ever purse of $300,000 and the staging of the first-ever Mount Isa Mines Indigenous Rodeo Championships, the legendary Mount Isa Mines Rodeo is becoming a festival over nine days in the famous red dirt of the Australian outback.
And it’s about time, given the event is the southern hemisphere’s largest rodeo and the third-largest rodeo in the world.
The Mount Isa Rodeo Festival will take place from 5–13 August and will include a special celebration.
This year Mount Isa marks its 100th anniversary and for 64 of those years the rodeo has been a highlight; a major event that brings together the city, the region and more recently, the country.
The Mount Isa Rodeo Festival not only features what happens in the famous Red Dirt Arena, but also all the other events and activities open to visitors throughout the week including the Bell and Moir Toyota Rodeo Arena Ball, which will raise important funds for local charities, the Isa Rodeo Hall of Fame BBQ, the Mount Isa Mines Indigenous Rodeo Championships and, of course, the legendary Mount Isa Mines Rodeo and our Rodeo Rock concerts that feature an incredible entertainment line-up.
Famous for being one of the most electrifying events in the country, the Mount Isa Mines Rodeo is on the bucket list of many.
The event has won numerous awards and generated millions of dollars in economic benefit to Mount Isa, outback Queensland and the whole state.
Now there’s even more reason to go.
This year will see the return of rodeo champions to win back-to-back buckles, as well as even more incredible juniors showing their skills in the arena.
