About this happenin
Two nights of bull riding, bronco busting, and barrel racing light up the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds dirt when the Tampa Bay Rodeo rolls into Dover. Alongside the arena, a family festival stacks up mechanical bull rides, axe throwing, bungee trampolines, monster truck rides, and up-close time with goats and camels, plus barbecue, corn dogs, and Cuban sandwiches. A 150-foot American flag flies over the grounds for the country's 250th birthday. Know before you go: gates open at 5 p.m. both Friday and Saturday, with rodeo action starting at 7:30 p.m. It runs rain or shine, and the programming is built for kids and grown-ups alike. Buy tickets ahead at tamparodeo.com, since Saturday nights here tend to sell out.
