We would like to invite you to join us as we celebrate the 40 th Anniversary of the Arizona Gay Rodeo scheduled for February 13-15, 2026 at the Corona Ranch and Rodeo Grounds – 7611 S 29 th Avenue – Laveen (Phoenix) AZ 85339.  

A full weekend of activities is planned with a rodeo school on Friday, rodeo competition on Saturday and Sunday, dancing and entertainment Friday through Sunday, and culminating with the awards ceremony and party on Sunday evening.  

Additionally, a complimentary “survivors’ brunch” is planned for Monday – February 16, 2026, and a rodeo volunteers’ party is planned for Friday – February 20, 2026. All sponsors are invited to these events.

Rodeo profits are distributed to various charitable organizations. From the 2025 rodeo, AGRA gave a total of $125,000 to twenty-four (24) different worthy organizations.

Sponsorships help enable us to have a successful and fun rodeo, and all sponsorships are greatly appreciated.  All sponsors are announced throughout the rodeo, advertised in the arena, and also given the opportunity to present your respective award(s) on Sunday evening.

Deadline for all sponsorships, including full payment, is Friday – January 9, 2026. This deadline is established in order to allow sufficient time to complete the program layout and have it printed for the rodeo.
