The Kiwanis Club of Statesboro announces the return of the 16th Annual Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo, presented by Nine Line Apparel, scheduled for April 23rd through 25th, 2026, at the Bulloch County Agricultural Complex. This popular, family-friendly event continues to expand as one of the area’s top spring traditions, welcoming guests from across Southeast Georgia and beyond.
Since its debut in 2011, the award-winning Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo has grown into a signature community event, combining professional rodeo action with a strong focus on service. What started as a local fundraiser has developed into a multi-night production showcasing elite competitors, exciting entertainment, and a meaningful economic and charitable impact. Funds raised from the rodeo support youth programs and nonprofit organizations throughout Bulloch County and nearby communities, keeping the impact close to home.
The 2026 event is proudly presented by Nine Line Apparel, a veteran-founded brand recognized for its patriotic values and commitment to giving back. As presenting sponsor, Nine Line Apparel helps elevate the overall experience while reinforcing the rodeo’s mission of service, tradition, and community pride.
The rodeo has continued to build momentum over the years, including the addition of a third night and strong attendance growth following its move to the Bulloch County Agricultural Complex in 2021. This progress has strengthened its reputation, with recognition tied to the high-quality production provided by Hedrick Rodeo Company, an award-winning leader in the industry.
Hedrick Rodeo Company, under the direction of Danny Hedrick, will once again produce the rodeo. Known for delivering dynamic and professional shows, the company brings top cowboys and cowgirls from across the country to compete in events including bull riding, barrel racing, bronc riding, steer wrestling, and more. As a sanctioned event of the International Professional Rodeo Association, the rodeo draws competitors from across the nation and internationally.
A featured highlight of rodeo week is the visit from Miss Rodeo USA, who serves as a national spokesperson for the sport. During her time in Statesboro, she participates in school visits, community appearances, and meet-and-greet opportunities, helping promote rodeo traditions and connect with local audiences. Guests will have opportunities to meet her throughout the week and during the performances.
Each evening, gates open at 5:00 PM with pre-rodeo activities, vendors, food trucks, and family-friendly attractions, followed by the main performance at 7:30 PM.
