Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
March 4th, 2009Perhaps the only time Texans actually live up to our infamous media driven stereotype portrayal of Stetson-in-hand, boot-wearing, horse lassoing selves is during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Events begin with the traditional Downtown Rodeo Parade and Bar-b-que cook off involving dry rub and carnivores of grand proportions. During the actual rodeo, patrons can enjoy petting zoos, bull riding, horse roping, pig races…you get it. The actual concert series, this year graced with the presence of teen idols Taylor Swift and The Jonas Brothers (fondly referred to as the Jo Bros), also draws quite a bit of attention and screaming adolescent fans (see concert listings below for more info). Get ready for quite a kick!
