The Panaewa Stampede Rodeo is a two-day rodeo that highlights the Paniolo skills of our local cowboys, cowgirls, keiki and traveling rodeo contestants in traditional cowboy events, plus three events that are unique to Hawai’i. It is a show that is entertaining as well as educational. Included with the rodeo are a funny rodeo clown, professional announcer, food booths, craft booths and leather and
saddle making exhibits. A cultural and historical display tent will provide the Paniolo history in Hawai’i with highlights of the Big Island. The Panaewa Stampede Rodeo is preserving the Paniolo skills and cultural lifestyle of our Big Island. It helps our residents and visitors learn more about our history while enjoying themselves. We hope to continue to have this event grow with more Big Island visitors returning in 2024 along with mainland rodeo fans coming over for our rodeo as there are very few mainland rodeos during this time of the year. Rodeo on the mainland is a multi-billion dollar business and our Panaewa Stampede Rodeo is gaining a good reputation in the greater rodeo community as a fun and entertaining excuse to come to Hawai’i in cold February. We expect to have an increase in visitors coming from the mainland for the rodeo and we expect to have more returning visitors that traditionally stay on the West side of the Big Island come to our rodeo. We have worked with the County of Hawai’i to get the bleachers covered. This amenity will help our visitors better enjoy the rodeo in the event of “liquid sunshine”. Pre-sale Tickets: $10
