The enduring spirit of Osceola County’s western heritage will once again take center stage when the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade returns to Downtown St. Cloud at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 14.
Held annually as part of the Silver Spurs Rodeo season, the parade stands as one of the county’s most recognizable traditions — a celebration that connects generations through agriculture, horsemanship, and community pride. For decades, the parade has served as a welcoming signal that rodeo season has arrived in Osceola County.
A Tradition Rooted in Rodeo History
Founded by the Silver Spurs Club, the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade began as a modest promotional event designed to build excitement for the annual rodeo. In its early years, the parade traveled through Downtown Kissimmee along Broadway, where residents lined the streets, waved to riders, and gathered for simple, old-fashioned fun that reflected the county’s rural roots.
As Osceola County grew, the parade evolved alongside it. The event eventually found a permanent home in Downtown St. Cloud, where it continues to flourish as a signature February celebration while maintaining the same purpose it held from the beginning — bringing the community together through shared tradition.
Celebrating Western Heritage and Community Pride
Today, the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade remains a vibrant display of Osceola County’s agricultural legacy and western culture. Each year, spectators can experience a colorful procession featuring equestrian groups, marching bands, vintage vehicles, rodeo royalty, and local civic organizations.
From decorated floats to riders on horseback, the parade highlights the diverse groups and volunteers who help preserve the county’s ranching history and rodeo traditions. Families line the streets of Downtown St. Cloud, creating an atmosphere that blends history with celebration and reinforces the strong sense of community that defines the event.
More than just a parade, the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade represents continuity — a living reminder of Osceola County’s past and a bridge to future generations. Year after year, the event draws longtime residents and first-time attendees alike, many of whom return annually as part of their own family traditions.
As the 2026 Silver Spurs Rodeo season begins, the parade once again sets the tone for weeks of rodeo action, community gatherings, and shared experiences that have defined Osceola County for generations.
With its roots firmly planted in history and its eyes on the future, the Silver Spurs Rodeo Parade continues to ride on — carrying forward a tradition that remains central to the cultural fabric of Osceola County.
The parade is just the beginning, as a week of high-energy rodeo action follows at Osceola Heritage Park, starting Saturday night and continuing through the next weekend.
