Folsom Rodeo

Expected more bull and bronc riding, but all in all was great! Had fun. Going next year for sure.

Hmmm...where do I start...1) the venue ran out of bottled water half way through the show knowing they sold out every seat and the weather was going to be smoldering hot.2) purchased the most uncomfortable bleacher seats in the corral club and it's so not worth it. Your knees will bump up against the row in front of you. There's no space in between the bleachers so who ever is in your row needs to stand up in order for you to access the aisle.3) don't bring your portable misting fan as security will not allow it inside the venue despite how hot it is.4)there is only one way in and one way out of the venue and I'm still in disbelief how this isn't a fire hazard. In addition, it was a mission to get to the corral club section. There is one walkway around the whole venue that barely fits 2 people side by side. Again not sure how this isn't a hazard.5) couldn't hear the announcer or the music as the speakers in the corral club kept cutting in and out.Will I go again??? Hell No!!!

This was such a waste of money! We came to see a rodeo not hear advertising for the first hour! What a waste of time! I would never go again! Security rude!

This was my first rodeo ever and I had a blast! It was such an amazing night, full of laughs, spectacular rodeo riding, and full of friendliness everywhere. The show was jaw-dropping and the skill level of the riders barely allowed me to blink! The music was perfect. It was super family friendly. Great food and drinks. Funny MC's. Customer service on every end was top-notch. From the Chamber of Commerce representatives, the volunteers, the Folsom Police Department, and just everyone in attendance were polite, helpful, and happy to be there. The rodeo clown was hilarious! Moto-Cross riders - WOW!!!! To top it off - the perfect fireworks display to celebrate Independence Day. It was a party for all ages! My kids had the best time and also cannot wait until next year. They want to go to the rodeo every night next year! I would give it 100 stars if there was that option. It was a true celebration of impeccable skills, but more so of our country, our freedom, and bringing us all together in harmony. I highly recommend the Folsom Pro Rodeo. This year they pulled it off within two weeks because they were given the approval late. I thought it was perfect and can only imagine what they would pull together if given more time. I have nothing negative to say, only positives. The whole night was full of smiles and laughter. Such a perfect Saturday night! Looking forward to next year! This may have been my first rodeo, but it is the start of a beautiful friendship!!!! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

First time at the rodeo loved it. First was afraid 7-10 pm would be a long time to spend at the rodeo, but it went by so fast. The program is packed and full of fun. The host was amazing.Here are a few tips.We sat at the corral seating. The show started at 7:30pm. The sunset on our back, unlike the other seats across (cheapest seats) sun will be in your eyes the entire time. Depends where your seats are, you have two entrances, check online for the map. On one of the entrances, you can take free Rodeo picture (printed and emailed picture). A lot of food to choose from and drinks. If you are sitting in the corral seats, you have servers, they bring you drinks and food (awesome). Bathrooms, food and drinks are right behind the seating. Seats- corral - metal like seatings, were not hot but could be- reserved seating - wooden - general (cheapest) - cementSo bring whatever seating you prefer. Fireworks This might vary each year. They were in front and behind the corral seats. The problem was that they were to close and the wind blew all the residue into people's eyes. I would suggest putting on your sunglasses.WaterYou can bring a closed store bought bottled water. Read more in their site fit info.EntranceOpens at 6, I would recommend coming at 6 or latest 7. The queues are very long at the entrance. ParkingPark around the neighborhood. When leaving the rodeo expect traffic jam and stall. Park near the gas station.

Had an amazing time with my three kids...Parking wasn't bad before or after. Bought an adorable cowboy hat for $30. Not much to do before or after (unless you are drinking and dancing) so my advice to families is don't come too early, you'll just stand in the sun longer. You can bring in water and snacks, just no containers that have already been opened (including water bottles) the kids loved it, non stop something going on and the Cowboys and girls had them on their feel clapping and excited throughout the evening. Best 4th ever, take the kids!

What a great night out with the family and youngsters. So much fun. I would live to return for next years event.

I was so excited to take my family to the rodeo Saturday night. My three girls (9, 8, 4) loved the rodeo we attended last summer, so we decided to take them to Folsom this year since it's just down the road from our house. Between Folsom's family friendly reputation and the various kid friendly events being advertised it never crossed my mind that it would be inappropriate for younger ages. Unfortunately, the Rodeo Clown didn't seem to have any idea what constitutes family friendly. From his five minute monologue comparing police officers to pigs (on the night chosen to honor those who serve our country) to his numerous sexual innuendos, and occasional references to marijuana, I was embarrassed to have brought my kids and mother-in-law. Maybe this is what Folsom Pro Rodeo is all about, and if so, that's great and I'm sure they certainly have their audience, but please don't market it as family friendly and include kid friendly events like the coin dig and mutton bustin. It could be a really fun family event. We loved the sky diving American Flag, the Painted Ladies, and traditional rodeo events, but until we hear a significant change of mood towards a more traditional love of God and Country, we will not be back

Cons: Spent near $100 total on tickets and food. Will not go back, thought it was culturally insensitive, with too many advertisements, and not entertaining.Pros: If your a young adult who wants to drink this would probably be an ok event for you.

It was hard to enjoy the Folsom Pro Rodeo this year...between the scorching heat and the MC making rude comments about Americans being fat, and picking on certain sports fans, it wasn't funny and it wasn't cute dude! The fireworks show could have been patriotic but they chose to play EDM music!! Screeching blasting music totally took away from what could have been an outstanding and patriotic fireworks show. This is advertised as family friendly rodeo, but you really missed the mark for us this year FPR.
