About Rodeo Celina

Rodeo Celina honors the Western and cowboy heritage that has shaped North Texas for generations. Celina’s ranching and agricultural foundation dates back to the 1870’s, when the area was made up of farms and ranches steeped in the western cowboy heritage we value to this day. Our rodeo roots trace back to the late 1960s and 1970s, when the Celina Riding Club hosted monthly “Playdays” that brought families together for friendly competition, horsemanship, and community fellowship. Although those early events eventually faded as the town grew, the values behind them — hard work, tradition, and respect for the Western way of life — never left the community.

That legacy was proudly revived in 2024 with the founding of Rodeo Celina, now the first PRCA-sanctioned rodeo in Collin County. Built originally by Celina Chamber of Commerce, local leaders, volunteers, and supporters, Rodeo Celina delivers professional rodeo competition while supporting agritourism, local agriculture, and youth programs such as local FFA. Rooted in Celina and welcoming the broader North Texas equine and cowboy communities, Rodeo Celina is committed to preserving Western heritage, strengthening regional ties, and providing an authentic, family-friendly PRCA rodeo experience for generations to come.

Rodeo Celina is proudly led by a dedicated crew—our Board of Directors, Advisory & Support Team, Committee Chairs and Volunteer Association, Founder’s Club, all supported by our generous sponsors and vendors!

Board of Directors: Rodeo Celina is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors made up of seven professionals who are committed to strong governance, transparency, and long-term vision. Their leadership ensures the rodeo upholds PRCA standards while honoring Western heritage and serving the broader North Texas community.

Advisory & Support Team: Our Support Team plays a vital behind-the-scenes role, providing trusted guidance and operational support that strengthens the work of our Board. Their experience and steady leadership help ensure Rodeo Celina operates with professionalism, integrity, and purpose.

Founders Club: In 2024, a dedicated group of community leaders, businesses, families, and individuals worked together to make the idea of a PRCA sanctioned rodeo become a reality. These individuals and companies invested time, resources, hard work to see the dream of Rodeo Celina become reality. We are grateful for their vision in the beginning and their continued support of our rodeo and community! (Although joining the Founders Club was a one-time opportunity in 2024, YOU can still be a part of our team through our various Sponsorship and Membership Opportunities – see below. 

Volunteer Association: Rodeo Celina is powered by people. From the arena to the gates, our volunteer team is made up of dedicated men and women who give their time, talent, and heart to make this rodeo possible. Their commitment to Western heritage, community, and service is the backbone of everything we do!  JOIN US!
