Take my hand and walk with me…

One significant challenge we face when introducing folks to the Rodeo is just how much there is to share, and how varied our programming can be. We pride ourselves on bringing all kinds of work – from large-scale to intimate, smooth and sparkly to raw and prickly. We also work hard to fit it all into just three wild weeks.

We also recognize this abundance can sometimes be overwhelming to you, our audience. Whether you’ve attended 30 Rodeos, or this is your first time… flipping through the printed program, or scrolling our new digital guide, there is A LOT to see and discover. With this in mind we’d like to offer a couple of ideas for how to digest, plan and get excited.

One option is to explore the calendar feature on our website. You can see a list of what is playing on any specific day, and it has links that will lead you to show pages with more information including how to get your tickets.

Maybe you’re a visual learner? We’ve got you! Check out our 2025 Rodeo video which is an unhurried “in our own words” exploration of all we have to offer. Blake Brooker, Denise Clarke and myself sat down in the Big Secret Theatre a few weeks ago to chat about the headliners, the collaborations, and everything else you can see in our festival.

Won't you sit down with us, relax and absorb the excitement as we introduce the artists of this year’s High Performance Rodeo. We think you’ll be as impressed as we are in what these truly remarkable artists are bringing to Calgary this January.

See you at the Rodeo!
