The biggest ever lineup of music and entertainment is set for the 2026 Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.
The Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association (CREA) will host more than 100 artists across seven venues over five days.
Music fans and rodeo-goers get to see The Strumbellas perform at this year’s Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair. Fans will get to see them on the main stage Saturday, May 16. The concert is free with a Cloverdale Fairgrounds general admission ticket ($18 in advance; $20 at the gate).
Along with The Strumbellas, other headliners for Rodeo Weekend include: Cooper Alan, Brett Kissel, k-os, Tony Stevens, Gord Bamford, and The Road Hammers.
Kathy Sheppard, CREA president, said with seven headlining acts and more than one hundred artists performing throughout the weekend, the rodeo and fair will also have a festival atmosphere.
“We’ve got so many artists, so many genres—whether you’re into rodeo, the fair side things, the food side, the music—you can come all five days and see something different every day,” Sheppard told the Cloverdale Reporter.
She’s excited about the expanded music lineup. New this year, she said a drone show will delite rodeo- and fair-goers on Friday night (May 15) right after k-os plays on the CR Corral Main Stage.
“The drone show will be really entertaining,” she added. “It will be a 12-minute show—which doesn’t seem long, but it’s a long time—and it will be choreographed to music.”
Sheppard noted it’s the first official drone show ever in Surrey and the company will use 400 drones.
“We want to create unforgettable experience for our guests.”
She said most of the stages are free, so all it costs is admission to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. Shows in the Longhorn Saloon are ticketed and require a ticket (above the Fairgrounds admission cost).
Tickets are on sale now and can be found by visiting cloverdalerodeo.com.
