The 2026 Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo will be held January 30–February 7, 2026, in Rapid City.
New this year is Rope, Ride & Slide, a high-energy, multi-discipline event that delivers nonstop western action in a fast-paced format. It’s rodeo, but with the reins loosened and the attitude cranked up — a quick-hit, back-to-back format that keeps the action rolling and the crowd roaring. No average runs. No drawn-out breaks.
Another fan favorite gets a refresh as Boots & Beer Festival moves to a new date in 2026, giving it room to shine as a signature nightlife experience within the Stock Show schedule-Thursday, February 5 in the Kjerstad Event Center. Cold beer, live music, and Black Hills attitude—timed better than ever.
The 2026 concert lineup remains a major highlight, with concerts shifting to new nights (Friday and Saturday, February 6 and 7) to improve crowd flow, enhance guest experience, and better complement rodeo, livestock, and trade show programming. Same powerhouse performances—just a smarter rhythm to the week.
While new features take the spotlight, the heart of the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo® remains unchanged. The Cinch Trade Show, premier livestock shows and sales, Ranch Rodeo, Broncs for Breakfast, youth livestock events, and the western culture that defines this event all return—stronger than ever.
