The 154th Silver Spurs Rodeo, held from February 20 to 23, once again delivered high-energy action, drawing fans both old and new to the Silver Spurs Arena. The excitement kicked off with the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade on Saturday February 15, which rode back into the downtown streets of St. Cloud, thrilling rodeo fans who live in and around St. Cloud and Osceola County, as well as visitors experiencing Osceola’s deep-rooted love for rodeo. The parade set the stage for an unforgettable rodeo weekend, blending tradition, community pride, and thrilling competition.
Featuring bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and the fan-favorite bull riding, the Silver Spurs Rodeo once again lived up to its reputation as the largest professional rodeo east of the Mississippi.
The addition of a Thursday night rodeo performance—free for Osceola students—marked a historic expansion in response to increasing demand. This move allowed more families and young rodeo fans to experience the thrill of the Silver Spurs Rodeo firsthand, fostering the next generation of rodeo enthusiasts.
The 14th Monster Bulls event, that followed the morning’s Silver Spurs Parade held on February 15, showcased some of the toughest bulls and most fearless riders in the sport. With sold-out crowds, the event reaffirmed bull riding’s place as one of the most electrifying rodeo events. Fans cheered as riders tested their skill and endurance against the strength of world-class bulls, making for an unforgettable night of heart-pounding competition.
