SAN ANTONIO – We’re a couple of weeks into 2022 guys, how are you feeling?

The COVID-19 pandemic put a hitch in San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo’s giddyup (where the heck is that phrase even from) in 2021, but, for now, the 2022 event is currently set to go on as scheduled.

The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo will be held February 10-27 at the AT&T Center/Freeman Coliseum fairgrounds. Tickets are already on sale.

My favorite part has always been mutton bustin’. It’s a fan favorite and takes place during every rodeo performance, with the exception of the finals.

Cattle Drive

Longhorn cattle will fill the streets of San Antonio once again during the Western Heritage Parade and Cattle Drive on Feb. 5.

The SA Live crew will be live from the parade with Fiona Gorostiza and Mike Osterhage hosting and Jennifer Struski and David Elder reporting along the parade route.

If you haven’t seen Elder’s Cattle Cam coverage you have to check it out. I’ve actually been down there covering it with him 4 out of the last 5 years and it’s really awesome. I’ll be there this year too. :)

The parade is free and runs through the streets of downtown San Antonio.

The Vaquero Cook-Off takes place just before the parade starts from 8 to 11 a.m. in Market Square. It’s also free to the public and there will be live music in addition to food and drinks.


Charreada

Charreada is Mexico’s official sport. It originated in the 16th century, predating and inspiring, the American Rodeo.

It was popularized by the charros of Jalisco and the nation of Mexico and upholds the customs and family traditions of Mexican Horsemanship.

“The first charreadas were ranch work competitions between haciendas,” according to the San Antonio Rodeo. “The competing charros often came from families with a tradition of Charreada, and teams today are often made up from extended families who have been performing for up to five generations. It is best described as a mix of rodeo skills and dressage, with riders showing traditional competitive roping and ranch skills, but also exquisite costumes, custom tack and horse grooming and horsemanship skills.”

The Charreada for San Antonio Rodeo 2022 will take place at the Freeman Coliseum on Feb. 27.
