Why the Adirondack Stampede Matters
For more than 30 years, this rodeo has been an Adirondack tradition. It’s one of the few professional rodeos held in upstate New York, making it a must-see for both seasoned rodeo fans and newcomers. Beyond the arena, proceeds benefit local families and charitable causes, so every ticket helps support the community.
Tickets & Admission
Tickets are available through the official website and the Harding Mazzotti Arena box office. Because the event often draws near-capacity crowds, buying early is recommended. Prices vary by seating tier — check the official rodeo site or arena box office for the most up-to-date information.
Venue & Access
The Harding Mazzotti Arena was renamed in 2025, some maps and references may still use “Cool Insuring Arena,” so plan accordingly. Arriving early is a good idea to secure parking and get settled before showtime.
