Coronavirus Forces Cancellation of 2020 Clovis Rodeo

(KMJ) – One of the Central Valley’s biggest, annual events will not take place in 2020.  Saturday, The Clovis Rodeo Association announced it is canceling this year’s event.  It had been slated to run April 22nd – 26th.

Here’s the message the Rodeo Association released on March 21st:

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the 2020 Clovis Rodeo is cancelled due to COVID-19. A longstanding tradition for the community, it was not a decision that came easily for the Clovis Rodeo Committee. It was a decision made because the health and welfare of our friends and neighbors must come first.

Carrying on our American Cowboy Tradition is important to each of us, the volunteers, sponsors, partner organizations and our community. Coming together to celebrate our Clovis Way of Life with friends, neighbors and visitors is something we look forward to every Spring. We tip our hats and extend our appreciation to the community, our fans and sponsors who have stuck with us and help to support the numerous charities and organizations that benefit from the Clovis Rodeo annually. We couldn’t do any of this without each and every one of you. We’re Stronger Together. We look forward to the 107th Clovis Rodeo April 21-25, 2021.

Ticket refunds or exchanges for the 2020 rodeo will honored. For the full refund policy visit www.clovisrodeo.com.
