(NewsNation) — They say everything’s bigger in Texas — and that includes the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
The annual agriculture extravaganza has been breaking barriers since its first iteration in 1932.
Over the years, it has featured about 30,000 exhibitor entries, 22,000 scholarships valued at $28 million in 2025 alone and plenty of entertainment legends, including Elvis Presley, Reba McEntire, Usher, Taylor Swift and George Strait.
The 2025 event is taking over Houston’s NRG Stadium for more than two weeks, through March 23. There are hundreds of events to choose from, including livestock shows, public exhibitions, food stalls and more.
According to the show’s official website, the event aims to promote agriculture by “hosting an annual, family-friendly experience that educates and entertains the public, supports Texas youth, showcases Western heritage and provides year-round educational support within the community.”
