Rodeo Addresses
Memorial Festival
Our annual Memorial Festival is a FREE two-day event open to the public, created in honor of Memorial Day Weekend to pay tribute to our nation’s fallen heroes. At the heart of the festival is our Memorial Wall, featuring photographs of local service members who made the ultimate sacrifice, ensuring their legacy lives on in remembrance.
Beyond honoring our heroes, the Memorial Festival offers a vibrant community experience with local food vendors, shopping, family-friendly activities, and entertainment. Attendees can enjoy free line dancing lessons, live music, and an exciting after-party following the rodeo.
Rodeo Queen
One of the highlights each year is the crowning of the Valley Center Rodeo Queen, Junior Queen, Young Miss & Little Miss. The new Valley Center Rodeo Queen is crowned each April and represents the Valley Center Stampede Rodeo each May. To learn more about the pageant and see the current title holders, please visit the Rodeo Queen site.
