The Cochrane Lions Labour Day Rodeo

will be hosted through the September long weekend.  Still considered one of the toughest Amateur Rodeo events in Canada and FCA sanctioned, we follow closely in the footsteps to the infamous Calgary Stampede. In fact,  you can expect to see many of the same riders & stock showcased there, but

in a much more intimate setting.

 

In the 1990’s the Lions Club began to focus their efforts on creating a family weekend by incorporating children’s entertainment, local vendors, outdoor family entertainment, the biggest parade of the year, fireworks, live entertainment and our always popular Saturday Night Dance. The hosting of these events created a major tourist attraction to the Town of Cochrane with thousands of out-of-towners visiting our small western community.
