A couple of weeks after the 2022 event ended, the rodeo shared that in 2023, the event will run from Feb. 28 to March 19.

The famed World's Championship Bar-B-Que Contest will be from Feb. 23 - 25

A limited number of 2023 season tickets went on sale in August.

The rodeo celebrated 90 years in 2022, marking a highly-anticipated return to action following a shutdown and cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the Junior Livestock and Horse Show competitions were still held, but as private events.

Ice, ice baby! The video above is from a previous report on the 2022 show going out with a historic bang thanks to a steer named Vanilla Ice.
