Organizers say 2026 Yucaipa Rodeo drew thousands, ask for volunteers and partner support
Summary
The Yucaipa Equestrian Arena Committee said the May rodeo was a success, reported high attendance (organizers said over 7,000 came through gates), and requested more volunteers for operations at the equestrian center.
Representatives from the Yucaipa Equestrian Arena Committee told the commission that the May 15–16 rodeo was a success and emphasized the event’s reliance on volunteers and city staff. "Again, success sold out on Saturday, almost sold out on Friday," one committee representative said, adding that volunteers and the city’s maintenance and police support are essential.
Committee members said the event brings visitors who support local restaurants and hotels and that proceeds help fund youth programs and scholarships; they asked commissioners to publicize volunteer opportunities and consider channeling more outreach through the parks and recreation calendar. Committee representatives reported they gave four scholarships to Duke High School students and said roughly 7,000 people visited the event over the weekend.
