Jackson Hole may have the views, but this June, Driggs, Idaho is bringing the horsepower.
The inaugural Ridgeview Pro Rodeo is set to take over the Teton County Fairgrounds on June 12–13, 2026, delivering two nights of PRCA-sanctioned rodeo action and a Saturday night country concert under the Tetons. If you’re looking for a classic Western summer weekend (with a little dust in your boots and maybe a cold drink in hand), this is it.
What Is the Ridgeview Pro Rodeo?
Ridgeview Pro Rodeo is a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) event, meaning this isn’t just a local exhibition; it’s the real deal.
With a reported $250,000 purse, the rodeo is expected to attract top-tier competitors from across the country. Translation: the bulls are bigger, the broncs are meaner, and the riders are chasing serious points and money.
The event is presented by the Teton Ridge Ranch Foundation, with a focus on celebrating Western heritage and supporting community initiatives in Teton Valley.

- Breakaway Roping
- Bull Riding
If you’ve never watched bull riding live, understand this: television does not adequately capture the sound of 1,800 pounds of irritated livestock launching a human into orbit.
Saturday Night: Rodeo + Concert
Saturday doesn’t end with the final buzzer.
Country band Midland will headline a live concert immediately following the rodeo. Known for their modern-meets-classic honky-tonk sound, Midland brings the kind of energy that pairs nicely with a warm June night in Teton Valley.
One ticket. Rodeo + concert. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
🎟️ Tickets & Tips
- Tickets are available online and expected to move quickly.
- Seating options vary, so early buyers get the best views.
- The event is family-friendly.
- Arrive early for concessions, merchandise, and to soak in the atmosphere.
And yes, wear boots. Even if they’ve never seen actual dirt before. We won’t judge (much).
Why This Is a Big Deal for Teton Valley
This isn’t just another summer weekend event. The Ridgeview Pro Rodeo is positioning itself as a new annual tradition for Driggs and the greater Teton region.
For Jackson Hole residents, it’s a quick trip over Teton Pass for a large-scale, professionally sanctioned rodeo experience — something we don’t get every day on this side of the Tetons.
For Driggs, it’s a tourism boost, a celebration of Western roots, and a chance to put Teton Valley on the PRCA map in a big way.
