The 129th Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo kicked off Saturday with the All-Western Parade in downtown Fort Worth. The event runs through Feb. 7.
The All-Western Parade, the oldest non-motorized rodeo parade in the United States, treated spectators to the sight of 3,000 horses, nearly 150 entries, more than 70 riding clubs and numerous marching bands.
“The All-Western Parade sets the tone for everything the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo represents,” said FWSSR Chairman Philip Williamson. “For 129 years, this event has honored the traditions of the West while bringing families, youth exhibitors and visitors from around the world together in Fort Worth. It is a celebration of our history and an invitation to experience one of the most respected livestock and rodeo events in the country.”
