The 90th annual San Angelo Rodeo will be held in Spring 2022 on the San Angelo Fairgrounds, according to a press release from the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Association.
In 2021, the SASSRA board of directors opted to split the livestock show and rodeo/midway events because of the COVID-19 pandemic and regulations regarding capacities events were facing.
Although the livestock show faced numerous challenges with the winter storm and a citywide water crisis, both events benefited from the change in scheduling, according to the release.
In consideration of the numerous factors facing both the livestock show and the rodeo, the association voted to move forward with the 2022 Livestock Show in February 2022. Staff for the association is currently working on a detailed schedule for the event, but are expecting the event to run Feb. 3-20, 2022.
With the success of the April event in 2021, the association will hold the 2022 rodeo and midway events April 1-17, 2022.
The increased prize money to the rodeo payout for 2021, will be a large incentive for contestants to continue to make their rounds to San Angelo, and April weather looks to be more promising for families attending the midway functions.
