The majestic Great Rocky Mountains as a backdrop AND a sea of Broncos…what more could you ask for? In case you had any questions about the event, here’s an easy, at-a-glance recap with essential info you might need to know.

BRONCO SHOW FIELD

  • Parking On The Show Field…
    • You must register your Bronco to ensure a spot on the field.
    • When parking your Bronco in the show field – please stay in marked rows.
    • Your Bronco may remain on the show field overnight, but gates will be locked each night and your vehicle will not be able to be accessed during closed hours. The field will be closed to all in and out traffic during these hours.
  • Tents On The Show Field...
    • You can set up a tent BESIDE your Bronco (you’ll have up to a 12-foot space).
    • Please do not set up your tent behind your Bronco, as we need that space for Broncos to drive in and out.
    • Be sure your tent is fastened down good. Wind gusts can get very strong in the afternoon, so please secure your tent and be sure to remove the canopy at night.
    • DO NOT REMOVE OTHER PEOPLES TENTS OR SPACE MARKINGS.
  • Selling Parts On Show Field…
    • You are welcome to sell products from your Bronco or tent within your space.
    • If you need more space, you will need to move to swap meet area.
    • No trucks or other vehicles will be permitted on the show field to drop off parts – all the parts to sell must be transported in your Bronco.

MORE IMPORTANT FYIs

  • Trailer Parking will be available Tuesday–Sunday in a courtesy trailer lot located behind the grandstands at the Rodeo Grounds.
  • Visitor Parking (for non-registered vehicles) is $10.
  • No alcohol is allowed on Buena Vista City Property which includes The Rodeo Grounds. If you decide to make a toast to your Bronco at an off-site location, please keep in mind that alcohol has a more powerful effect at two miles up in the air. So, drink responsibly!

  • This is a family-friendly event, kids and dogs who love Broncos are welcome.

DAILY DRIVES

Don’t forget there are more than a dozen daily drives scheduled over the course of the Super Celebration, PLUS, we’ve planned some special Bronco Nation members-only drives. We’re especially excited for the Bronco Nation Friday Night Drive, powered by Rigid. These planned rides are a great way to see some of the favorite hotspots in this beautiful area, but it’s really just a start. Feel free to get a small group or explore some more of the incredible landscape and local attractions on your own. Remember:

  • All the lead drives will gather and begin from a designated area.
  • Ask for directions before the drive, and please note the direction for the drive as you could become separated.
  • Ride schedule is subject to modifications or changes based on road closures or other unexpected circumstances. Be sure to check the most up-to-date schedule at the event tent.
  • Make sure you are fueled up and have any snacks, water, essentials packed – to avoid having to leave the Bronco line-up for an unexpected stop.

WHERE TO STAY

If you have not booked your stay, there’s still time. This list of accommodations should help make the planning process a little easier.
