What it is: Three nights of professional rodeo, sanctioned by the PRCA, in the Ag Expo Park’s indoor arena: bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing and specialty acts. Rodeo week opens with a horse-and-float parade downtown and a free family night, and the Franklin Noon Rotary Club gives the net proceeds to community causes.
When it runs: The 2027 rodeo runs May 13 to 15, at 7 p.m. each night with doors at 5:30. The parade is Saturday, May 8, and the free family night is Wednesday, May 12, from 5:30 to 8.
Where to park: Free at the Ag Expo Park. No strollers inside (there is stroller parking at the main entrance), and no coolers, outside food, lawn chairs, backpacks or large bags.
What it costs: All seats are reserved. In 2026, seats for ages 13 and up were $29 to $52, obstructed-view and standing room $24; for 12 and under, $18 reserved and $13 standing. Children 3 and under on a lap are free, and the family night and the parking are free. 2027 prices may change.
The history: The Franklin Noon Rotary Club, chartered in 1948, chose a rodeo as its fundraiser and held the first one in May 1949; early proceeds bought the Franklin High School band’s uniforms. The 2026 rodeo was the 75th, and it has been sanctioned by the PRCA since 2005.
