It's not just the raging bulls and courageous cowhands; the Fortuna Rodeo is a week-long family festival with something for everyone. The rodeo committee works tirelessly to create fun activities that begin on Monday with a citywide chili cook off and end the following Sunday afternoon at the rodeo arena.

Come enjoy small town Americana. The good old days are still happening every year at the Fortuna Rodeo.Held in Fortuna since 1921, the Fortuna Rodeo has evolved into a fun-filled week of activities for the entire family that culminates in the California Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association (CCPRA) Finals.

The perfect summer weather lends itself to outdoor activities, and rodeo week is just that. Come enjoy small town Americana. The good old days are still happening every year at the Fortuna Rodeo.

President's Message:

The Fortuna Rodeo Association Board of Directors would like to invite you to the 88th annual Fortuna Rodeo. A lot of time and effort goes into putting on a week of activities and events, and it could not be done without the help of many volunteer groups and individuals. The Fortuna Volunteer Fire Department, City of Fortuna and Fortuna Chamber of Commerce members put in countless hours to make the Fortuna Rodeo a success and without their help we could not pull it off. A tip of the hat also goes out to our many sponsors, whose donations allow us to bring the electronic scoreboard and top specialty acts for your enjoyment. West Coast Rodeo Company will be providing our rodeo stock again this year. They have one of the finest strings of rodeo stock on the west coast and a hard working crew that insures a great performance.

Our Grand Marshall this year is the Parlato family. The Parlato’s are synonymous with Fortuna and the Fortuna Rodeo. Marie and her family will be honored for there many years of service to our community.

You don’t have to travel to Disneyland or Sea World for a family vacation, we have it all right here in Fortuna, July 13th thru the19th. We pride ourselves in putting on a week long event with activities everyone can enjoy and at a price that’s affordable, if not free. So check out our schedule of events and bring the whole family down for some good old fashioned “Wranglin’ in the Redwoods”.

Happy Trails,

Shannon McWhorter, President
