Update: The RMV Rodeo Has Been Discontinued Permanently
The 2023 Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo scheduled was canceled due to a virus affecting horses and cattle across Southern California. While there have been no reports of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) specifically at Rancho Mission Viejo, the decision to cancel the event was made in the best interest of the animals.
Going forward RMC has decided to cancel the rodeo permanently. The Pandemic to the horse virus in 2023, rising costs and other obstacles, have ultimately led to this tough decision.
In addition to the thrilling rodeo itself, the RMV Rodeo offers many exciting activities for attendees of all ages. Indulge in food and drinks with flavors of the wild west or explore the vendor booths showcasing unique western merchandise and artisan crafts. The little cowgirls and cowboys can enjoy the pony rides, a trackless train, bounce around in jump houses, get their faces painted, and much more, ensuring endless fun for the whole family.
Arrive early to make the most of the pre-event festivities and stay late for the post-Rodeo concert on Saturday night. By joining the rodeo festivities, you’re also supporting local charities and organizations, making a meaningful difference in the community.
