Event summary

Highlights

  • Freestyle bullfighting competition featuring acrobatic stunts
  • Bring Your Own Bull (BYOB) team bull riding format
  • Showcase of country lifestyle and agricultural heritage
The Cinch Canadian Country Expo serves as a major gathering in Western Canada for those interested in country lifestyle and agriculture. Located at the Edmonton Expo Centre, the event provides a newly imagined showcase of Western traditions. It is strategically timed to run alongside the Canadian Finals Rodeo, which takes place at Rogers Place, offering a comprehensive experience for rodeo and country culture enthusiasts in Edmonton.

A major draw of the expo is the freestyle bullfighting competition. Unlike some traditional forms, this event focuses on athletic maneuvers and acrobatic stunts performed by participants as they interact with bulls for 60 seconds without harming the animals. Points are awarded based on the proximity and skill of the maneuvers performed near the bull.

The expo also features the Bring Your Own Bull (BYOB) competition. This event introduces a team format for bull riding where experienced professionals partner with emerging talent. Experienced riders select top-tier bulls from across Canada to compete for a prize purse. These ticketed events aim to highlight the evolution of the sport while honoring rural heritage and livestock traditions.
