Cowtown Rodeo in Pilesgrove has been bringing non-stop excitement to South Jersey since 1929 with bull riding, barrel racing, and all the classic rodeo thrills fans love. I've been there a couple of times, and it's always been so much fun.

The 2026 season kicks off Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 23rd, but now there's another way to experience some rodeo fun in New Jersey, and it's this weekend, and it's on the BEACH!

Bullriding at the Jersey Shore!

Stampede Rodeo and Bulls on the Beach is set for this weekend in Wildwood, with all the fun taking place right on the sand. Imagine watching bull riders with the sound of the ocean waves in the background! How cool is that?

Talk about a unique experience. What a cool contrast of a fast-paced rodeo experience with seagulls overhead, all while overlooking the beautiful ocean.
