2026 Adirondack Stampede Rodeo

When & Where

Get ready for the 35th Annual Adirondack Stampede Rodeo, returning to Glens Falls, NY, (just a short drive from Lake George). The action takes place Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7, 2026, with performances each evening at the Harding Mazzotti Arena (formerly Cool Insuring Arena).

The Rodeo Experience

Step into an unforgettable evening of PRCA-sanctioned rodeo competition featuring some of the best talent from across the country. Watch cowboys and cowgirls compete in:

  • Bareback riding
  • Saddle bronc riding
  • Steer wrestling
  • Team roping
  • Barrel racing
  • Bull riding

Every ride is paired with professional sound, lights, and live announcing that bring the excitement to life. When the dust settles, keep the fun going at the Round-Up Party in Heritage Hall, where fans can gather for music and celebration after the show.

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.
