About Southwestern Exposition & Livestock Show

The Southwestern Exposition & Livestock Show in Fort Worth is one of the oldest continuously running livestock shows in the United States, a three-week January through February celebration at Will Rogers Memorial Center that launched Fort Worth's identity as Cowtown and remains the crown jewel of the Texas livestock show circuit.

What to Expect

Expect championship livestock shows, ProRodeo competition, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, a youth show that draws competitors from across the country, and the full range of Western Heritage exhibits that define this legendary event in the cultural capital of the American West.

Visitor Tips

Fort Worth's Stockyards National Historic District is just minutes away — the daily cattle drive on Exchange Avenue, Billy Bob's Texas (the world's largest honky-tonk), Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and the Fort Worth Water Gardens make this one of the best fair-and-city combinations in the country.
