Rodeo

Tucson Rodeo. In late February, Tucson hosts Fiesta de Los Vaqueros, the largest annual winter rodeo in the United States, a nine-day extravaganza with more than 600 events and a crowd of more than 44,000 spectators a day at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. The rodeo kicks off with a 2-mile parade of Western and fancy-dress Mexican charros, wagons, stagecoaches, and horse-drawn floats, touted as the largest nonmotorized parade in the world. 4823 S. 6th Ave., South, Tucson, Arizona, 85714. 520/741–2233; www.tucsonrodeo.com.
