The Crazy Horse
Stampede Rodeo is held mid-June each year on the grounds of Crazy Horse Memorial in the
Black Hills of South Dakota. Crazy Horse Memorial is 35 miles southwest
of Rapid City on Highway 16/385.
It is one of the few rodeos with both a
Professional Rodeo
Cowboy's Association (PRCA) events and Great Plains Indian Rodeo Association

Crazy Horse Memorial supports the Crazy Horse Stampede to
further the Memorial's goals of cultural understanding. Rodeo chairwoman A. R. Ziolkowski
says, "If we can play together we
can work together."
The 2008 GPIRA rodeo will begin at 2 p.m. Friday,
June 13. The PRCA-sanctioned action runs at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June
14-15. The Stampede is a one
go-round event. (2007 results.)
Daily rodeo admission is $9 for adults and $3.50 for children (under 6 admitted
free). Tickets may be purchased at the Crazy Horse main entrance or at the
entrance to the rodeo grounds on the day of the rodeo. Crazy Horse Memorial
admission is free with rodeo admission.
