Oakley Pioneer Days Celebration & Rodeo

Hosted by the Oakley Vigilantes, we honor tradition and build community year after year. Oakley Pioneer Days by the Oakley Vigilantes is a celebration of community, tradition, and western heritage that brings Oakley to life every July. Since 1882, this cherished event has been a cornerstone of Southern Idaho, featuring a wide array of activities that draw locals and visitors alike. From thrilling

events like the Bump-n-Rub Car Races to the electrifying Open Rodeo, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Kick off the week with exciting competitions such as the Gymkhana Youth Rodeo, showcasing the talents of our young cowboys and cowgirls, and the Tractor Pulls, where powerful machines take center stage. Families can gather for fun community events like the Cornhole Tournament, the 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, and the Lawn Volleyball Tournament—perfect for spectators and participants alike. Don’t miss the Pioneer Day Parade, a vibrant procession down Oakley’s Main Street that captures the heart of our celebration. Start your mornings at the Chuckwagon Breakfast, enjoy live music and dancing at the Street Dance, and experience the camaraderie of the community with our Team Sorting Night. As the sun sets, the festivities continue with fireworks lighting up the night sky, capping off a week of unforgettable memories. Whether you're here for the competition, the history, or the family-friendly fun, Oakley Pioneer Days offers a rich variety of activities that celebrate the spirit of the West and the enduring bonds of community.
