The 61st Manitoba Stampede and Exhibition will return to Morris from July 17 to 19, 2026, bringing back Manitoba’s only professional rodeo with free gate admission and a new discount for seniors.

The Valley Agricultural Society, which runs the event, has dropped general admission to the fairgrounds. That means free access to the beer gardens, vendors, and midway for all visitors. A 10 percent discount on Friday tickets will also be offered to anyone 60 and older.

Day passes for the rodeo performances start at $35 for adults and $25 for children ages 6 to 12. Weekend passes are $90 for adults and $60 for children. Kids five and under get in for free.

The rodeo is part of the SMS Equipment Pro Rodeo Tour and will feature bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, and breakaway roping, along with chuckwagon racing. For fans who cannot attend, all rodeo events will be streamed live through COWBOYCHANNEL PLUS.

The Manitoba Stampede draws about 20,000 visitors to Morris each year. After a two-year pause during the COVID-19 pandemic, it came back strongly in 2022. Last year, it won the 2025 Manitoba Country Music Association Festival or Event of the Year award.
