Held on Easter Sunday, April 5, it is hosted by Finley Apex at the Finley Showgrounds and Sporting Complex.
As part of the Australian Professional Rodeo Association’s official 2026 circuit, which also includes the Deni Rodeo on Easter Saturday, the Finley Rodeo showcases a standout lineup of classic rodeo contests.
Gates swing open at 5pm, just in time to catch a golden country sunset before the arena action begins at 6pm.
Visitors can expect the spectacle of saddle bronc, bull riding, bareback bronc riding, steer wrestling, barrel racing, and team roping, with top competitors from across the nation taking on premium stock supplied by the renowned McPhee Rodeo Co.
This competitive roster positions the event as a highlight within the national rodeo calendar.
But it’s not just arena thrills that draw travellers to Finley.
This vibrant Easter Sunday celebration delivers an atmosphere brimming with local hospitality.
Visitors can wander among gourmet food stalls, let the kids enjoy dedicated children’s activities, and soak up the friendly community vibe that regional NSW is famous for.
With free entry for children under nine and discounted pre-purchased online tickets for adults and families, the event is as budget-friendly as it is memorable.
For those exploring the region, the Finley Apex Club has made access even easier, offering bus transport from Tocumwal, making it a convenient excursion for weekend holidaymakers.
