Rodeo is not as popular in Mississippi as it is in other states, particularly in the western United States, where rodeo has a long history and tradition. However, there are some rodeo events that take place in the state, but they are not typically annual events, and they may be organized occasionally. The Mississippi High School Rodeo Association (MSHSRA) is an organization that provides rodeo opportunities for high school students in the state. They have events that are sanctioned by the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) and it provides an opportunity for students to showcase their skills and compete in rodeo events such as barrel racing, bull riding, and more.
The MSHSRA organizes rodeo events throughout the year, and the state finals are usually held in June. In addition, there are some professional rodeo events that take place in the state occasionally, such as the Mississippi State Fair Rodeo, and the Mississippi Coast Coliseum Rodeo. I suggest checking with local event organizers or the Mississippi Rodeo Association to see if there are any upcoming rodeo events in the area.
