BRE & Rice Rodeo Company Announce Riverfront Rampage 2026 Tour Finals
Burlington, IA — Burlington Riverfront Entertainment (BRE) is teaming up with Rice Rodeo Company to bring a reimagined indoor bull riding event to Memorial Auditorium on March 11–13, 2027. The weekend, officially named the "Riverfront Rampage," will also serve as the Rice Bull Riding 2026 Tour Finals.
By partnering directly with one of the Midwest's premier rodeo producers, BRE is bringing the tour's top 30 riders to Burlington to compete for a $25,000 overall payout. Fans can expect three nights of high-energy action featuring elite bucking bulls, great production value, and all the excitement the community has come to expect from a weekend of indoor bull riding. Families can look forward to the return of the free Saturday morning Kids Day, featuring mutton bustin' and other free activities, as well as reduced family ticket pricing for the entire weekend.
"Indoor bull riding is a longstanding tradition in Burlington. A lot of dedicated volunteers worked hard for years to build up this tradition. The event has grown to the point where it requires a full-time staff. We're stepping in and working directly with the Rice Rodeo Company to ensure that indoor bull riding stays here for the long haul. Bringing the Rice Bull Riding Tour finals to Burlington is a huge win for the fans and our community." said Matt Brown — Executive Director, Burlington Riverfront Entertainment
Giving back to the community remains a core focus of the weekend. BRE is proud to continue the initiative alongside Titan Broadcasting and Digital Group, and the official local charity benefactor will be announced soon.
"We're really looking forward to working with the team at BRE. Burlington has a great crowd. This partnership means we get to bring our absolute best stock and our top riders right to their doorstep for the finals," said Dave & Christina Rice — Owners, Rice Rodeo Company
Details on ticket sales and sponsorship opportunities will be rolled out in the coming months. For the latest updates, visit www.riverfrontrampage.com or follow Burlington Riverfront Entertainment on social media.
