Description

The richest one day rodeo in Australia, the Boddington Lions Rodeo is held each year on first Saturday in November. Get up close to amazing cowboys & cowgirls in action.

The Boddington Lions Rodeo has been held annually on the first Saturday in November since 1976.  Proud of its status as the richest one day rodeo in Australia, the Rodeo draws competitors from all over the world to compete in bronc and bull riding, team & breakaway roping, steer wrestling, rope & tie and ladies barrel racing.  Nail biting entertainment, skilled horsemanship and clown humour make this Rodeo event very exciting to watch.

The Rodeo weekend in Boddington offers something for everyone.  The town of Boddington and its community groups all get involved and offer activies and events that start from Friday night right through until Sunday.

Friday Night Festival - free fun festival, food vans, kids rides and games, music and a relaxed opening to the Rodeo weekend on the Old School Oval adjacent to the camping areas.

Art Exhibition and Photography/Floral compeitions in the Town Hall.  For those more interested in the arts the  Boddington Arts Council have a art/photography and floral competition and all exhibits are displayed over the weekend in the Town Hall.  This opens on Friday night and compliments the Friday Night Festival perfectly.

Saturday Street Parade - kicks off at 10am and meanderes through town, floats, displays, car and bike clubs all show off their passions along the street.  Enjoy breakfast at one of the main street cafes while you watch the parade go past.

Rodeo - the Main Event starts at 1pm, but heats start from 9am at the Rodeo Grounds on Hakea Road.  Competitors fight for their right to call themselves the best all day and finish up with some awesome live music in the bar area through until midnight.

Sunday morning is usually a community market and the smells of bacon and egg rolls can normally be enjoyed as Rodeo goers recover from their festivities the night before.
