The rodeo grounds is open for the public’s use. Anytime the arena is not reserved, you are welcome to practice and ride in it. It may not be worked as frequently between reservations, but the Arena Manager takes excellent care of the arena during our busy season, which ramps up late April and ends usually late September.

We also have many stalls setup for those of you traveling through. You are welcome to use them for one overnight. This would be dry-camping only, as there are no RV hookups or electricity to plug into. However, in busy season we do have water available at the stalls. These do get blown out for the winter though. There is a donation box near the first stall we kindly request that you leave a donation for using our facility.

Thank you!

The Three Forks Rodeo is 7/19 & 7/20/2024! Read more on the schedule of events over the entire rodeo weekend here.

Hi there!

If you are needing to reserve a stall for junior/high school rodeo in April, please email, text or call the Rodeo at [email protected] or 406-272-3716 with the # of stalls needing reserved, your name and contact phone number. For this event, stalls are $15/day or $25 for the weekend. You will pay when you arrive.

Remember we have just 57 stalls with access to water. Once fully reserved, you may then setup portable pens near/attached to your trailer. Please stay off the exterior of the arena which is MT Hwy-2 and has heavy truck traffic along that, as well as a pedestrian/bike path. There will be room on the grounds between the highway and Milwaukee Street.

Please note the rates for reserving the arena, grooming, building, etc have been slightly revised and are effective immediately.

The application may be found here: https://www.threeforksrodeo.com/wp-content/uploads/TEMPLATE-USE-AGREEMENT-THREE-FORKS-RODEO-ARENA-approved-1_8_2024-Google-Docs.pdf

Just wanted to share a big huge THANK YOU to all those who have donated to funding of the bleachers! The bleachers were purchased in 2020 for just over $412,000, with another [just under] $59,000 in construction/excavation prep work for a total of under under half a million dollars. The majority of donations came that first year, and the Board was able to secure a loan for the balance at $310,000. Many more donations were received due to the 2020 “No Go Rodeo” campaign because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of you attending the past few years’ rodeos who have left a tip in the jars at the Cook Shack or Beer Gardens have also contributed to our semi-annual payments on the loan for the remaining balance. We couldn’t do it without you!
