Whether you’ve followed it for years or you’re planning your first one, Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo tickets put you inside a touring tradition built to honor Black Cowboys and Cowgirls in the American West.
This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.
The Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo is an annual, touring rodeo event founded in 1984 by Lu Vason. Held across rotating U.S. host cities and venues, the touring season generally runs spring through fall, with stops that can include places like the Fort Worth Stockyards in Texas and venues in the Washington, D.C. / Upper Marlboro, Maryland area. It’s recognized as the nation’s only touring Black rodeo, created to celebrate and honor Black Cowboys and Cowgirls and their long-overlooked contributions to building the American West.
Across each stop, fans can expect a traditional rodeo program featuring standard timed and roughstock events contested by Black cowboys and cowgirls from across the country. Typical events include bareback riding, steer wrestling (bulldogging), ladies’ steer undecorating, barrel racing, calf roping, team roping, junior barrel racing, and bull riding. Roughstock events are judged on rider and animal performance, while timed events come down to the fastest clock. Competitors vie for prize money and event titles across the disciplines, along with the cultural prestige that comes with competing on this stage.
The rodeo is named for Bill Pickett (1870–1932) — a legendary Black cowboy and rodeo performer credited with inventing bulldogging (steer wrestling), and the first Black honoree inducted into both the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. Beyond the competition, the event is known for a festive, culturally celebratory environment that blends rodeo action with community and tribute to Black Western heritage. If you’re planning to attend Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo tickets typically range from around $25–$30 for general admission to $50–$75+ or more for premium reserved seating, with premium packages running higher.
Pricing is driven by the host city and venue, performance time (afternoon vs. evening), and how close your seats are to the arena floor and chutes. If you’re shopping for value, general admission and upper grandstand options are often the best starting point; if you want a more immersive view of the rides and runs, reserved lower-level or chute-side / arena-floor-level seating is typically in higher demand.
