The Silver State Stampede is the oldest rodeo in Nevada. The tradition of Elko’s annual rodeo started in 1913 when GS Garcia, the world-famous bit, spur, and saddle maker, decided that northern Nevada cowboys needed a rodeo, and the town needed the added entertainment and income. Today’s Stampede has grown into a multi-faceted event, showcasing the best of rodeo and ranch cowboys alike.
For over 100 years (since 1912) Elko and the surrounding communities have been entertained by thrilling
live rodeo action. The Silver State Stampede Association (SSSA) continues the tradition annually by producing this
first class Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) event. The Silver State Stampede showcases the most
exciting and diverse competitors and livestock available in the Intermountain West. From the always popular
“Mutton Busting” to the nail biting “Ring of Fear” there is excitement for all. In keeping with traditions, this rodeo
attracts working cowboys from across the west for the Old West Bronc Riding, along with top professional cowboys
from all over the United States and several foreign countries chasing PRCA World Championships. This event
provides excellent, family friendly entertainment for the audience and great prizes for the competitors.
In 2020, the Stampede welcomed a total of 624 cowboys/cowgirls who qualified for the Wrangler National
Finals and 51 world title holders across the most-talented entrants ever seen in Elko. It was the first year the Silver
State Stampede was broadcast on national television on The Cowboy Channel and Cowboy Channel+ App. We are
excited to announce that we will have national television coverage again in 2021 putting Elko and our great sponsors
on the map.
