The 2024 winter rodeo season is in full swing in Osceola County. Saturday morning marked the start of the 80th year of the Silver Spurs Rodeo, with the annual Rodeo Parade through the streets of downtown St. Cloud. The parade captured rodeo’s deep local history that dates back to the 1940s.

Saturday night, the action moved into the Silver Spurs Arena for the Monster Bulls event, showcasing some of the top professional bullriders—And the nastiest stock the Silver Spurs Riding Club can raise!—along with some accomplished barrel racers. Gov. Ron DeSantis even visited with his family!

Starting tonight, catch the action of the 152nd Silver Spurs Rodeo; the action is through Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., along with the Osceola County Fair. Get tickets fast— the rodeo sold out last year!
