One legendary rodeo, and a town that knows how to gather

The calendar here revolves around the Big Loop Rodeo — the third full weekend in May, every year, for more than half a century. Around it: brandings, church suppers, and the kind of community events that don’t always make the internet. When in doubt, ask at the cafe.

Jordan Valley Big Loop Rodeo

Third full weekend in May, every year · Jordan Valley Rodeo Grounds

The real thing — a 50-plus-year buckaroo tradition famous for big-loop roping, where ropers throw 20-foot loops from horseback the way Great Basin cowboys always have. Ranch families from three states, a parade, dances, and a town that quadruples for the weekend.

Planning around the rodeo? Lodging in town sells out for the weekend — book your RV site or room as far ahead as you can. See the annual events calendar for everything that repeats each year.
