About

Sanctioned as one of the featured Arizona Centennial events, the 136th Annual World's Oldest Continuous Rodeo will be held in Payson, Arizona in 2019. The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee would like to welcome you to Payson, Arizona, the home of the Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo in May and the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in August. Each year, we organize, promote and stage both rodeos. We use the proceeds of the rodeos to support charitable organizations throughout the Rim Country. We rely heavily on the hard work of our volunteers, the generous support of our sponsors, the talents of our participants, and the patronage of our rodeo fans throughout the country. We invite you to explore our site and encourage you to become involved as a volunteer or spectator.
