A Montana rodeo is pure, high-octane cowboy and cowgirl chaos—where dirt kicks up under bucking broncs, barrel racers, ropers and steer wrestlers– all while the air crackles with the excitement and roar of the crowd! Cowboys fly out of the chutes, gripping horses tighter than you gripping your Bud Lite; cowgirls on their horses deliver a heart-pounding blur of speed and precision tearing around barrels in a tight pattern, fighting the clock with every hairpin turn! It's a full-throttle dance of talent, guts, and good ol’ Montana grit—one wild ride you won’t forget.
It’s a classic slice of Western and small-town pride, under the summer sun or stadium lights! Rodeos here feel like a rowdy backyard BBQ mixed with a high-stakes show. So grab your hat, round up your pals, and get ready to “yeehaw” the night away! Need more tips on what to bring to a Montana rodeo? Well have no fear, we’ve got you covered!
10 Things to Bring to a Montana Rodeo:
1. Your favorite jeans or cutoff jean shorts. New or old, you can’t go wrong sporting your favorite denim!
2. Stylin’ t-shirt or tank top from Intrigue Ink. Western flavor or not, you’ll be happy to catch the rodeo action in a rockin’ tee or tank from Intrigue Ink!
3. Cowboy or trucker hat. Whether the rodeo is during the day or night, you’ll definitely want a hat to complete your rodeo look! Need a great trucker hat… get one from Intrigue Ink!
4. Comfy, broken-in cowboy boots. With cowboy boots, the more worn the better!
5. Denim jacket or flannel shirt for chilly evenings. Summers in Montana can get chilly!
6. Blanket or stadium seat. Rodeos can last for hours– keep you tushy comfy with a soft surface!
7. Cash for food & beer. Nothing pairs better with the rodeo action than a burger and a beer! (Only if you’re over 21 of course!)
8. Sunscreen & sunglasses. While some rodeos have covered grandstands… you may not have cover from the sun! So be prepared for fun in the sun!
9. Bandana (for the dust and the vibes.) Need a bandana? Shop the collection at Intrigue Ink!
10. And last but not least… a big ol’ rodeo-ready attitude! Enjoy the thud of hooves and the roar of the crowd as they echo under the big sky– where locals and travelers alike enjoy the time-honored tradition of the rodeo!
