“The best Urban Rodeo in the Midwest” returned for its second year, with sold out shows all weekend!
Showcasing cowboys and cowgirls from across the nation, premier athletes came with skills and passion creating an entertaining force that could be felt throughout the area.
The event once again delivered a high-energy, family-friendly celebration of historical rodeo culture. With an estimated 7,500 attendees over two days, the event was praised for its peaceful, welcoming atmosphere – many guests likened it to a “family reunion with people they’d just met.”
New this year was a successful Celebrity Golf Tournament hosted at Swartz Creek Golf Course featuring former NFL players and local participants, while the EmpowerMENt Health & Wellness Fair offered mental health resources, free lunch and 150 rodeo ticket giveaways.
Local bullfighter Jeremy Brockingham was among the featured talent, and vendors reported strong success. Founder Nicole Scott shared that attendees described the Flint rodeo as inspiring and full of opportunity. The Midwest Invitational Rodeo team is already looking ahead to producing an even bigger event in 2026.
