Tucson tradition is hitting the streets again. 🌵📣
The 101st annual Tucson Rodeo Parade rides through town on Thursday, February 26, 2026—a colorful, high-energy kickoff that keeps the spirit of the very first parade back in 1925 alive and well. Known as the largest non-motorized parade in the country, it’s a full-on community celebration powered by volunteers, local pride, and generous sponsors.
🎟️ Grandstand seating is limited this year (new route = fewer seats), and it includes pre-parade entertainment.
📩 Grandstand map + directions will be emailed so you’ll know exactly where to go.
No refunds.
🗺️ New parade route:
Starts at S 12th Ave & E Drexel Rd → travels east on Drexel past the Grandstands, KOLD TV, and the Judges’ Stand → turns north on Nogales Hwy → ends at 6th Ave & Irvington Rd.
Saddle up, grab your people, and come cheer on a Tucson classic. 🎉🌵
