Western Rodeo Parade & Cattle Drive

The Western Rodeo Parade & Cattle Drive is a great way to get excited for Rodeo Weekend at the Washington State Fair. The annual Cattle Drive starts at 10am and travels down Meridian Street in downtown Puyallup.

It’s an hour-long event you won’t want to miss. Enjoy the parade, then wander down to the Fair before noon to take advantage of FREE Fair gate admission from 10:30am until 12:30pm with a donation of school supplies. The Parade is free, no ticket required.

Join the Fair in helping Communities In Schools. Just bring a new school supplies donation to the Red or Gold Gates following the Rodeo Parade and get FREE admission!

This is a non-motorized parade, including equestrian drill teams, draft horse hitches, military marching bands, great musical entertainment, royalty, and cowboys on horseback.
