Good for a big group

Best season Saturday nights in the published season. Their 2026 copy says 23 May through 26 September, gates around 6, rodeo at 7:30. Confirm the year.

A Saturday-night rodeo on a South Jersey farm market, not a festival city. Seven events, general admission, open-air seats. The 2026 season on their site runs Saturday nights from late May through late September.

Worth knowing

  • This season's card

    Buy on cowtownrodeo.com, not a reseller. Seating is general admission. Their site says the show goes on in the rain and tickets are date-specific. Prices above are the 2026 figures they published.

With kids. Their 2026 ticket page lists children 3–12 at a lower price and infants as free. It is a night show with animals and noise. That price is not a promise for the next season.

With a group. They sell group tickets at the booth if seats remain, and they ask groups to call ahead. Online tickets can sell out first.

The short version

Cowtown sits at 780 Harding Highway in Pilesgrove. The market side traces itself to a 1920s livestock sale. The rodeo is the evening show on the same property. It is a local Saturday, not Cheyenne.

Food nearby

Eat before the gate, or at the market earlier

The farmers market shares the ground and closes in the afternoon. Their rodeo notes ask guests not to arrive too early while the market is still clearing. Bring supper or eat in town.

A game nearby

The rodeo

Bull riding, broncs, roping, barrel racing. It is a pro-style Saturday night in a small township. Their 2026 pages listed adults at $28 and children 3–12 at $12. Next year's card can change.
