FWSSR invites the public to purchase a ticket to line the streets for the All-Western Parade and experience a legendary Texas tradition. Featuring more than 3,000 horses, the parade showcases nearly 150 entries, including more than 70 riding clubs from across the nation, a dozen marching bands featuring several local high schools, the TCU Horned Frog Marching Band, the Hardin-Simmons University Cowboy Band, and more than 30 wagons and floats.

“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.”
