I believe Garth Brooks said it best when he said the following:

It's boots and chaps
It's cowboy hats
It's spurs and latigo
It's the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
And they call the thing rodeo

Montana is no stranger to rodeos, in fact, rodeo is a way of life here in Big Sky Country, and while there are several to choose from, one of the biggest happens each year in Big Sky, Montana.

When is the Big Sky PBR?

Bull riding is a fan favorite, and for many Montanans it's their favorite event. For those who are looking for some serious action, you'll want to go ahead and mark down July 16-18th on your calendar. That's Thursday through Saturday and tickets will be going fast.

Entering it's 15th season, the Big Sky PBR is part of the PBR's Challenger series which follows the best bull riders in the world. So, spectators will see some amazing cowboys up close and personal.

One of the things that makes the Big Sky PBR so special with both fans and riders is the location. Not only are you in Montana, but you're right next to Lone Mountain and let's be honest, that's a pretty decent view.

Where can I buy tickets to the Big Sky PBR?

If you are looking to purchase tickets, you can go to the website Big Sky PRB and see what is available. Once again, it's the Big Sky PBR and it happens in Big Sky Montana July 16th through the 18th.
