Did you know?
The first rodeo contest was held in Montreal in 1944, at the former Montreal Forum, by a group of amateur cowboys called Wild West. The show was so popular that the team returned a year later for a second event before moving in 1946 to the Delorimier Stadium.
Twenty years later, Montreal hosted its first professional rodeo event at the Old Port during the World’s Fair (Expo ’67). After that, the Montreal Hippodrome became the venue of choice for local rodeo competitions until 1976.
For NomadFest Urban Rodeo, TKNL, the experts in event organization, are producing the festival and staging the rodeo portion in close cooperation with Wildtime Productions and the Festival western de St-Tite.
The St-Tite western festival and urban rodeo, known throughout North America as the best production of its kind for the past 16 years, is a solid foundation on which to make Montreal’s urban rodeo initiative a smash hit.
