Prescott’s favorite season is almost here. The World’s Oldest Rodeo® returns to the Prescott Rodeo Grounds June 29 through July 5, 2026, bringing with it the energy, tradition, and hometown pride bolstered by America’s 250th Anniversary.
Celebrating these 250 years, Fain Signature Group, Founders Building Group, Fain Land and Cattle, and Talking Glass Media have partnered to help Prescott Frontier Days create the RIDE WITH US podcast studios at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds. Don’t forget, the studio leather. All cowboys need a good leather seat to sit on to make stories come alive, and that’s where Joe’s Furniture of Prescott enters the picture.
The goal of the new RIDE WITH US podcast studio is to enhance storytelling and preserve the history and traditions of The World’s Oldest Rodeo ®, while providing access to the people who make the rodeo so special: stock contractors, longtime volunteers, contestants, cowboys, and the community members who carry the stories, memories, and hard work behind the arena lights. The studios will also operate throughout the year as a second Talking Glass Media podcast studio, providing community members another access point to share their stories while also having the opportunity of visiting the rodeo grounds and staff throughout the year.
“Fain Signature Group, Founders Building Group, Fain Land and Cattle, Talking Glass Media (TGM), and Joe’s Furniture are proud to make the RIDE WITH US podcast studio a reality. Everyone has a story, and now there are podcast studios at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds and the Prescott Valley Town Center for residents and business owners to share their stories,” says Guy Roginson, TGM.
Rodeo week will feature eight performances, beginning Monday, June 29 at 7:30 p.m. and continuing through Sunday, July 5. Gates open two hours before each performance, giving guests time to shop, eat, enjoy live music, and take in the full rodeo grounds experience.
