Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo expansion and events

Overview

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has initiated major expansion and anniversary preparations. In September 2026, the organization broke ground on ‘The Farm,’ a $300 million, 1 million-square-foot agricultural complex scheduled to open in 2029. This facility, funded primarily by the organization, is designed to host livestock competitions, horse shows, and agricultural education programs.

Following this development, the organization announced kickoff events for its 95th anniversary, scheduled for late February 2027. These festivities include the World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, the Rodeo Run, and the Downtown Rodeo Parade.
