ABOUT US
The Nevada Gay Rodeo Association (NGRA) is an affiliate of the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA), which comprises 17 member associations across the U.S. and Canada. These associations host around 15 sanctioned rodeos annually, including the International Finals. NGRA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) group run entirely by volunteers. It is dedicated to preserving the western lifestyle and producing gay rodeos while raising funds for charitable organizations within the community. Over the years, NGRA has raised substantial funds for local charities.
Since 1996, NGRA has produced twenty-six BigHorn Rodeos. These events feature traditional rodeo competitions in rough stock (like Bareback Bronc Riding and Bull Riding), speed, and roping categories, alongside camp (comical) events, entertainment, dancing, vendors, and other activities. The growing popularity of rodeos in the western U.S. and nationwide has helped NGRA become one of the fastest-growing member associations within IGRA. The BigHorn Rodeo is one of the largest events on the gay rodeo circuit.
