Rimbey will host the 59th Annual Rimbey Rodeo from July 10 to 12, 2026, at the Co-operators Agrim Centre. The three-day event will feature local and Central Alberta Rodeo Association performances, along with food trucks, vendors, dry camping, and beer gardens.

The rodeo kicks off Friday, July 10 with a local rodeo at 5 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, CARA-sanctioned performances begin at 1 p.m., with a Saturday slack round at 5 p.m. CARA events include saddle bronc, bareback, bull riding, breakaway roping, and team roping across multiple age groups, from young kids to adults.
Organized by the Rimbey Exhibition Association, the rodeo is a long-standing tradition that returned in 2022 after two years of pandemic cancellations. This year marks the 59th edition, drawing competitors and spectators from across central Alberta to enjoy amateur rodeo at its grassroots best.
On Saturday night, a cabaret with a DJ starts at 7 p.m. at the Agrim Centre. Tickets are $10 at the door, and kids 12 and under are free. Throughout the weekend, visitors can explore vendor booths, grab a bite from food trucks, and camp on site.
