About Sidney Iowa Rodeo

Welcome to the Sidney Iowa Rodeo Arena, the heart of the Fremont County rodeo tradition. Since 1923, this outdoor arena has hosted legendary performances during Rodeo Week, including Mutton Bustin at every show. With thousands of attendees across five performances each year, the venue blends heritage with accessible, straightforward ticketing and a practical, guest-first experience. Below you’ll find seating and parking details, transportation options, and trusted recommendations for nearby hotels and restaurants to help you plan a smooth visit. We’ve got you covered with reliable information and friendly guidance for a classic Midwestern rodeo experience.

Sidney’s rodeo program runs five performances typically from Tuesday through Saturday during Rodeo Week. The arena is part of the historic Sidney community, and the event is widely celebrated in local culture and museums.
