Friday, May 20 to Saturday, May 21

4215 Long Ln, Franklin, TN

Williamson County AG Expo Park

Since 1949, cowboys and cowgirls have stampeded to Franklin, Tennessee in early May to participate in what is billed as the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi. The Franklin Rodeo is a project of the Franklin Noon Rotary Club, which has now celebrated over seven decades of excitement since its beginnings. Today’s rodeo progressed over the years and looks a lot different than the first one held in 1949. The rodeo became sanctioned by the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) in 2005, spans three nights, is held inside an air conditioned arena, and draws nationally ranked contestants and top bucking stock.  The 15,000 fan annual attendance exceeds the entire 1949 population of Franklin.  And the sixty-cent admission of that first rodeo won’t even buy a soft drink today.

5Tennessee Renaissance Festival
