Presented by Don’s Ford, the action-packed rodeo event features top riders, high-stakes competition, and a fan-favorite VIP Cowboy Experience
Mohawk Valley Garden announced today that the 2025 Utica Stampede Rodeo and Expo presented by Don’s Ford will return to the Adirondack Bank Center on Friday, August 1 and Saturday, August 2, with both nights beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Following a sold-out 2024 edition that brought thousands of fans through the doors, the Stampede continues its rise as one of Central New York’s most anticipated summer events. The 2025 rodeo marks the fourth-ever Utica Stampede and promises another high-adrenaline weekend of professional rodeo action.
Tickets are on sale now at EmpireStateTix.com, by phone at 315-790-9070, and in person at the Adirondack Bank Center Box Office. Tickets start at just $21.
Returning this year is the VIP Cowboy Experience, a popular pre-show add-on that gives fans behind-the-scenes access to meet the animals, cowboys, and rodeo clown, along with photo opportunities right on the dirt. VIP packages are available as an upgrade with any ticket purchase.
The Utica Stampede, operated by Lucky E Rodeo Company, is an officially sanctioned event of the American Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) and will feature eight core rodeo events:
- Bull Riding
- Bareback Horse Riding

Riders and ropers from across the Northeast will compete for cash prizes and rodeo glory in front of another electric Upstate New York crowd.
Additional event details, entertainment, and fan amenities will be announced in the coming weeks.
