Junction Rodeo and Dance 

August 9 - 10, 2024

The top summer entertainment in Texas is found in Junction in mid-August of every year. With the Junction Rodeo and Dance happening, this month heats up in more ways than one.  

Junction Rodeo and Dance

There’s nothing more Texan than an old-fashioned rodeo. Unless you add a dance under the stars, of course. Both are all part of the fun at the Junction Rodeo and Dance, held annually on the 2nd weekend in August. 

Along with a parade and the Martin Memorial Open Car Show, the rodeo and dance offer a full weekend of festival fun in Junction. Located at the western end of the Texas Hill Country at the convergence of two pristine rivers, this is the place to be in summer. 

The heart and the soul of this annual event is the heart-pounding rodeo action. Events like bull riding make up the core of each night of the Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association rodeo organized by the Cadillac Rodeo Company. 

Take it all in, then get ready to tap your toes and swing your hips at the nightly dance held at the pavilion on the Hill Country Fairgrounds. 

As if all this wasn’t enough, don’t miss the vibrant parade that marches through downtown Junction on Saturday morning. Then head to the courthouse square to check out all the vintage and unique autos of the car show or take a dip in the nearby South Llano River to cool off from the summer heat.
