The 100th annual Tucson Rodeo Parade will take place on

Thursday, February 20, 2025 at 9:00 a.m.  

In cooperation with the City of Tucson, the parade route will begin at South 12th Avenue and Drexel Road, proceed East on Drexel to Old Nogales Highway, then turn North, ending at Irvington Road.

​

The route change was necessitated by the decision of Union Pacific Railroad not to hold trains for the three-hours necessary, on the section of track that the parade has historically crossed on its previous route.  This new route will keep the parade near the Rodeo Grounds but won’t cross the railroad tracks.

​

The Tucson Rodeo Parade Committee appreciates the assistance of the City of Tucson and the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association in finding this new route that will offer plenty of spectator viewing opportunities.
