One of rodeo’s most popular events, professional bull riding (PBR) is a contest between man and bull: riders must try to stay on a bucking bull for at least 8 seconds. For those that can stick it out, they’re scored on their skill and technique as they ride. Top scorers take the prize.

Deadwood Chamber, “Professional Bull Riding (PBR) is a thrilling and iconic Western sport that traces its roots to the rugged landscapes of the American West. Originating from traditional rodeo events, PBR has evolved into a standalone spectacle that showcases the intense relationship between man and beast.”

Gates open at 5:30 pm and the event starts at 7 pm both days. Tickets are $20 to $75, depending on seats, and available online or at the rodeo grounds ticket booth.
