The popularity of the rodeo's return this year is evident by the online ticket sales. Both Friday and Saturday tickets sold out online, but tickets are still available at the gate.

In addition to the traditional rodeo events, Texas Country artist Josh Ward is scheduled to perform on Friday. Roger Creager and Kevin Fowler's 'Dos Borrachos' concert tour is set for Saturday.

The Humble Rodeo began in 1947 and moved to the Humble Civic Center 50 years later. After a two-year hiatus, the event resumed in 2000, according to the rodeo's history. Proceeds benefit the Humble ISD Foundation.
