San Diego Gay Rodeo

Our monthly meeting is this Saturday on the patio out back at Pecs Bar at 3pm.

In July we will be participating in San Diego's Big Gay Picnic in Balboa Park. Join us and the San Diego Coasters bringing some country flavor to this great monthly community picnic!

Join us for another round of fantastic bingo hosted by our very own Mr San Diego Gay Rodeo, Reid! These bingo events are always a blast with tasty Jell-O shots and a raffle.

5-7pm this Saturday at PECS BAR

Sorry folks, we need to postpone our event tonight at Pecs. We're hoping to get it rescheduled soon...

In 3 weeks, Saturday April 5th, the San Diego Gay Rodeo Chapter will be holding a cowboy underwear double header at !! Things will start up around 8pm.

+One part Cowboy Underwear Auction (~8-10:30)
+One part Best Easter "Basket" contest...Yes, /that/ kind of "basket"! 😉😜 (Starting ~9-9:30)

Make sure you dust off your hat, don your boots, and rock your sexiest briefs, jocks, or whatever you wear to flaunt.

The Easter "Basket" contest will start ~9-9:30. The crowd will choose the best "basket". Decorating your basket is optional, but highly encouraged. Just make sure your eggs are secure!

Some great new shirts available at Humanity!, a great local business that supports our organization. It is always fun to stop in and see what new stuff they have!

After having such a fun time at Reid's first bingo fundraiser and listening to the overwhelming demand, Reid will be hosting another afternoon of Bingo at PECS BAR on Saturday, March 15th. And he will be wearing his awesome new sash as Mr. San Diego Gay Rodeo 2025!

Another BBQ at the Loft! Come help us raise money to produce a rodeo in 2026!

A podcast out today that discusses gay rodeos and our history. It is an interview with Dr. Rebecca Scofield, associate professor of History at the University of Idaho. She was a Co-Creator of Voices of Gay Rodeo. (https://www.voicesofgayrodeo.com/)

Royalty, Rodeo, and Reunion. The Road to 50!

We are all proud of reaching this incredible milestone, 50 years of gay rodeos!

The International Gay Rodeo Association is planning a grand celebration the likes of which we have never seen during the World Gay Rodeo Finals October 9-12, 2025 in Reno, Nevada. The place where our history began.

The Reunion Committee is sending this attached letter to reach out and invite you to attend and celebrate the long and rich history that you have been a part of. Reach out to your old rodeo friends, make a plan, and come be a part of this celebration.

Hotel rooms are already filling up (yes, they truly are!), so make your reservations soon. Three hotels are in the complex where the non-arena events and parties will take place.
