Plan your Fourth of July weekend around the fun and excitement of the 91st annual Professional Rodeo Championship in Wright City

Wright City, OK -- For nearly a century, the Wright City Rodeo & Homecoming has been more than just a summer spectacle—it’s a homecoming, a reunion, and a full-throttle celebration of community pride. Now entering its 91st year, the beloved event returns July 1–4, promising four nights of rodeo action, family-friendly fun, and fireworks beneath the Oklahoma stars.

Sponsored by the William Wright American Legion Post #74 and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, this year’s event is set to draw rodeo fans and hometown folks alike with nightly performances beginning at 8:30 p.m. (gates open at 6:30). With $12,500 in added prize money, competitors will be riding for more than glory.

On opening night, the excitement kicks off with a 4:00 p.m. parade through town, followed by the fan-favorite Mutton Bustin' at 7:00 p.m. for children aged 7 and under. Each night also features Junior and Pee Wee Barrel Racing, awarding championship buckles to the fastest riders in their divisions.

A special dose of showmanship comes courtesy of Dusty Jennings, returning nightly with a specialty act guaranteed to wow the crowd.

Admission remains budget-friendly, with adults at $10, kids 6–12 at $5, and little ones 5 and under free. Special access nights include Senior Night on July 1 (ages 65+ free), Kids Night July 2 and 3, and Veterans admitted free all four nights.

CDIB cardholders also receive free entry on July 1 and 4, thanks to the generosity of the Choctaw Nation.

Capping the festivities is a giant fireworks display on July 4, delivering 2,300 shots in a fitting finale to a week rich with local tradition and western flair.

Event organizers are expecting strong turnout, with calls already rolling in for registration. Books open June 23–24 for event entries, with contact numbers available on the official poster and local websites.

With deep roots and a full slate of events, Wright City’s annual rodeo doesn’t just honor tradition—it lives it. And for four nights this July, the community will saddle up once again to celebrate the best of small-town spirit.
