The Great Western Rodeo, a yearly event held by the Great Western Football and Netball Club, has become a premier must-attend event in Victoria.
With riders from Australia and rodeo lovers from all over the world, it is little wonder that the event is a popular attraction in Victoria.

The event’s timing is very flexible. It is held over the Easter holidays when many tourists have ample time to sample the thrill and adrenaline rush of rodeo riding. In addition, the Great Western Rodeo is held around the same time as the Stawell Easter Gift, offering more than just rodeo activities in the region.
With live entertainment from 3pm onwards and plenty of onsite food & beverage options, it’s a fun day out for the whole family.
There’s also free camping & a recovery breakfast available for those wanting a safe place to pull up for the night. They’re sure an egg & bacon sandwich will help kick-start you the following day!
This is a strictly no-BYO event (there will be vehicle checks), and a family-friendly enclosure will be available. Please leave your dog friends at home, as they are not permitted inside the official event grounds.
Some of the facilities available on-location include a licensed bar, BBQ and a kiosk. There is also entertainment for visitors and first aid equipment to ensure that accidents or injuries are attended to quickly. For outdoor lovers, the expansive grounds provide ample space for camping, offering a delightful outdoor experience.
Do you no what time the rodeo starts yet? Is it a day time or afternoon event? Thanks.
Hi Vicky,
Thanks for your question, I have just updated the page.
The rodeo is a day/twilight event which will run between 12pm – 8pm (gates open at 10am).
Regards,

Are we allowed to bring soft drinks
Hi Ian,
The organisers only specify that BYO alcohol is not permitted. So, as soft drinks aren’t mentioned, don’t see any reason why you couldn’t bring them in.
Have a great time at the Great Western Rodeo!
Jess
