Rodeo action takes over Chase Field in Phoenix from Friday through Sunday, turning the ballpark into a weekend stage for Hondo Rodeo Fest. It is one of the clearest event anchors in the Valley’s November 13-15 weekend guide, and it pairs the rodeo with country music concerts each night.
The schedule is simple and tight. On Friday, November 13, the rodeo begins at 6 p.m. at Chase Field, and the concerts start at 8:30 p.m. That same timing carries through Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, giving attendees a consistent three-day lineup. Tickets are listed at around $40, which makes the event one of the more accessible major weekend draws in Phoenix.
A full weekend format
The appeal here is not just the rodeo itself, but the way the event is built around it. Each night brings a rodeo program followed by concerts, creating a back-to-back schedule that stretches from early evening into the night. The lineup includes Tim McGraw and Miranda Lambert on Friday, Blake Shelton and Turnpike Troubadours on Saturday, and Parker McCollum and Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sunday.
That structure gives Hondo Rodeo Fest a different feel from a single-night show or a standalone arena event. It is a three-day format at a major indoor venue, with a free daily Street Fest adding another layer for attendees in Phoenix. For fans, that means the weekend is not just about one performance or one rodeo session; it is about how the whole event unfolds across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
More than one event on the calendar
Hondo Rodeo Fest is part of a crowded Valley weekend slate that also includes other local events, but its timing and scale make it stand out. The combination of rodeo, concerts and Street Fest gives it broad appeal, whether people are coming for the competition, the music or the full weekend atmosphere.
For those looking at the Phoenix events calendar, the main detail is straightforward: the rodeo runs Friday through Sunday at Chase Field, the concerts begin at 8:30 p.m. each night, and the setting makes this a major indoor rodeo stop with a clear weekend rhythm.
