By News Reporter Gabby Cedano

The Lone Star Championship Rodeo is bringing its 2026 “Ready to Ride” Tour to the Muhlenberg Ag. Convention Center in Greenville, for two nights of rodeo action on March 13 and 14.

Rachel Boyd with Lone Star Rodeo says each show begins at 8 p.m. and this year’s event includes a brand-new way to celebrate loyal fans.

The two-night rodeo will feature the full lineup of traditional events, including bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, Brahma bull riding, steer wrestling, calf roping, team roping and cowgirls barrel racing. Families can also enjoy kid-friendly activities such as stick horse races, the goat slingin’ contest for ages six and under and the best dressed cowboy and cowgirl contests. Specialty acts, the cowboy monkey Whiplash and rodeo clowns will also return as part of the entertainment.

Boyd says that even with new additions, the heart of the rodeo remains the same, spotlighting western heritage and showcasing the grit it takes to step into the arena.

Advance tickets are available until the 12th at 10 p.m. Boyd encourages families to purchase early so they can save money and avoid third-party ticket scams. Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for children ages 4 to 12. At the door, adult tickets will be $20 and children’s tickets will be $10. Kids three and under get in free.

Tickets can be purchased at lonestarrodeoco.com with a $2 transaction fee or by calling 270-269-6000.
