The Upper Canada Rodeo - Celebrating horse's, western tradition, and the country in you! 

 

Get ready for the Upper Canada Rodeo being held in Chesterville between June 16 and 19. The event will host an Equine Show, Western Games, NBHA Barrel Racing, Breed Show and Demonstrations along with 2 Professional Rodeos and 1 slack show produced by Rawhide Rodeo Company. Expect to see competitors from around the world competing in 3 of the most dangerous sports in the world; saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding and of course bull riding. 

 

The event is organized by Upper Canada Festivals and Fundraising, a group dedicated to building events and partnerships that promote community, fundraising and local economic development.  

Last year, the rodeo event structure helped out a number of non-profit organizations such as the Chesterville Lions, Knights of Columbus, House of Lazarus, Happy Face Nursery School, and Pathfinders by offering free space on the grounds for fundraising and promotion. Furthermore, we were able to highlight some of our amazing service organizations like the Ontario Early Years, South Nation Conservation and Eastern Ontario Health Unit.  

This year a fundraiser for Children's Wish Foundation will be held along with the Steer Away Hunger Food Drive for the House of Lazarus and inclusion of fitness activities like Geocaching thanks in part to the Eastern Ontario Health Unit.  

Papa Gus’s Family Restaurant and Bar at 160 Queen Street will host all the equine and rodeo events/shows and visitors can also enjoy Bounce Amusement, SNC Watershed Adventure Programming, Sunny Acres Barnyard Zoo Animal Adventures, Pop Shop All Stars & Company Kids Live Concert and Dance, Live Music, Cowboy Church, Chessfest and more. 

 

Live night time entertainment includes a free Fun Casino and Karaoke night on Thursday, Sarah McClurg on Friday, and The Chris Evan Band on Saturday along with Cowboy Church at 11 am on Sunday morning.  

 

Throughout the village you will find an Art Show at the Waterfront, boat rentals, quilter displays, weaving demonstrations, antique tractors and fire truck, mini boats and submarines, and more. Plus both the community pool and museum will be open. The museum will be hosting a Titanic Historical Display.  

Access to the grounds is free on Thursday and Friday but a Day Pass is required for the Saturday and Sunday where a Professional Rodeo produced by Rawhide Rodeo is held each day. Limited number of Day Pass's for Saturday or Sunday are on sale now either online or at select ticket depots. Bounce, live night time music and some pay per use items are not included in DayPass. 

Don't forget your ipads, ipods, e-machines and other mobile internet devices because this year the Upper Canada Rodeo is getting 'hooked up' with Wireless Internet thanks to RipNET limited.
