South Dakota State Sport
Rodeo
Adopted in 2003.
Adopted in 2003 the Rodeo is the South Dakota State Sport. The Rodeo traces its roots to the Old West when cowboys gathered after a cattle roundup and celebrated with informal competitions showing off their horsemanship and roping skills. It's fast-paced action when the professional cowboys take the arena! They compete in categories such as calf roping, bull riding, steer wrestling and saddle bronc riding. Rodeo is South Dakota's official state sport and can be found in arenas through the state and throughout the year.
The Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo is one of the best outdoor rodeos you'll ever attend. Top-name contestants compete over the 4-day event. The Stampede Rodeo Parade, Chili Cookoff and many other activities are held in conjunction with the rodeo. This is a celebration about all the corn they raise. Also there is a Rodeo in Deadwood as well as the the South Dakota State Fair!
