Fortuna Rodeo Week, “Home of the Champions”, celebrates the history of the Old West and small town America with fun for everyone in the heart of the California Redwood Coast. Bullfighters Only! performs Friday, July 20, 2018 – one of only two shows in California this year. Saturday, July 21, don’t miss the traditional parade at noon, or the evening’s Bulls, Broncs, Bands & Brews! When you stay at The Redwood Riverwalk Hotel, you’re less than two miles from the Fortuna Rodeo at Rohner Park. The Redwood’s small size, helpful staff, eco-friendly amenities, and unique Redwoods sense of place make it a one-of-a-kind choice among Fortuna hotels.
Rodeo Week is chock-full of events from the 5k Fortuna Rodeo Run, Junior Rodeo and Quadiators, to traditional rodeo events like Roping, Steer Wrestling, and Barrel Racing. The Carnival opens Tuesday evening, July 18, and continues every afternoon and evening through Rodeo Week. All Children’s Events and the Junior Rodeo offer free admission.
