Ariat Warwick Rodeo

The Ariat Warwick Rodeo & Pryde's Easifeed Gold Cup Campdraft is set to return, bringing together the best of Australian rodeo, campdrafting, and country hospitality at the Warwick Showgrounds from October 20-26.

Kicking off on Monday 20 October, the prestigious Pryde's Easifeed Gold Cup Campdraft runs all week, attracting elite riders from across the nation. 

Then, from Thursday 23 – Sunday 26 October, the spotlight shifts to the Ariat Warwick Rodeo, with four action-packed days of broncs, bulls, barrel racing, roping and more, showcasing the grit and skill of Australia’s top competitors.

This year’s program also features the Global Invitational Saddle Bronc Match, where 24 of the best riders from Australia and abroad go head-to-head in a world-class showdown. With more than $370,000 in prize money up for grabs across the drafts and $10k per event in Rodeo, Warwick stands as one of the most prestigious events on the national calendar.

Off the arena, the fun continues with two nights of live music under the stars — Tate Cole on Friday and Mick Lindsay on Saturday — plus sideshow alley, shopping, and great food. Kids under 12 are free all week, making it an affordable family day out. 

Good to know - Proceeds from Monday to Wednesday gate takings will support Ronald McDonald House Charities.
