Every July for the past 65 years Kerribee Park in Mareeba has been home of the Mareeba Rodeo and people come from all over the Far North to join in the festivities. The rodeo has all the usual highlights including bull riding, saddle bronc, steer wrestling, agricultural show exhibits, ute muster, cattle show and our favourite, the wood chop. To complete the line up, you cannot forget side show alley and dagwood dogs. Locals make a weekend of the festival starting off with a parade down the main street and a cabaret on the Saturday night. The show grounds provide free camping for those who wish to indulge.
It is a wonderful opportunity to soak up the cowboy culture. So get your boot scooting ready for July 2015.
