True Western Roundup

What is the True Western Roundup?

The True Western Roundup takes place every summer season at the La Plata County Fairground in the heart of Durango, Colorado. If you have never attended a rodeo event, this is the one to see! Get up close to all of the action and watch: saddle bronc riding, ranch bronc riding, breakaway roping, mutton bustin’, steer riding, barrel racing, team roping and bull riding. The True Western Roundup in Durango began in 2014 and has become one of the staple events of the summer season.
