Rodeo Dallas Rides On: A New Chapter Unfolds in Southlake

Get ready, Texas! Rodeo Dallas, the electrifying celebration of Black cowboy culture, is saddling up for an exciting new chapter. After a successful debut in Deep Ellum, the vibrant event is set to relocate to the prestigious The Marq Southlake, promising an elevated, indoor experience that will make its return on October 25-27, 2024, truly unforgettable.

Initially captivating audiences in Deep Ellum in September 2023, Rodeo Dallas quickly established itself as a cornerstone of Western heritage, bringing thrilling rodeo action and a rich cultural tapestry to the heart of Dallas.

However, organizers faced "unexpected site challenges" at its previous outdoor venue, prompting the strategic decision to move to a new home that ensures greater comfort and accessibility for all attendees.

The Marq Southlake, located at 285 Shady Oaks Dr, Southlake, TX 76092, offers a state-of-the-art indoor facility, marking a significant evolution for the event.

This transition ensures that weather will no longer be a concern, allowing the full spectacle of Rodeo Dallas – from the thunderous hooves of barrel racers to the soulful sounds of live music – to unfold seamlessly. Attendees can look forward to a more controlled and comfortable environment, enhancing every aspect of their visit.

Rodeo Dallas is more than just a competition; it's a profound cultural celebration.

Founded by the visionary Frankie J. Sanchez, the event is dedicated to showcasing the often-untold stories and rich history of Black cowboys, promoting diversity, inclusion, and education within the broader Western community. It’s a powerful platform that highlights the enduring legacy and contemporary contributions of Black individuals to rodeo and cowboy culture.

Visitors to The Marq Southlake can expect a full weekend brimming with exhilarating activities.

The core of the event remains the thrilling rodeo performances and high-speed barrel racing, featuring talented athletes from across the region. Beyond the arena, a bustling marketplace will offer unique vendors, delicious food, and captivating live musical performances, creating a festive atmosphere for the entire family.

It's an opportunity to immerse oneself in a unique blend of athleticism, artistry, and cultural pride.

Frankie J. Sanchez emphasizes that the move to Southlake is a commitment to providing an even better experience for participants and spectators alike. This new venue not only resolves previous logistical hurdles but also opens doors for expanded programming and continued growth, solidifying Rodeo Dallas’s position as a premier cultural event in North Texas.

It’s a testament to the dedication to foster community and celebrate heritage.
