Saturday nights in Pilesgrove, NJ promise a stacked lineup of bucking broncos, raging bulls, and some gasp-worthy moments in-between. But behind the stadium lights and hollering of the crowd, you'll find the Harris family. Through three generations, they've made Cowtown Rodeo the longest running weekly rodeo in the United States, bringing new fans to the sport since 1929.

Captain Name: Phil Bull

Trip Destination or Event Website:  Cowtown Rodeo , Pilesgrove, NJ

Ride Details

Listen up cowboys and cowgirls- get ready to saddle up for a beautiful ride through NJ farmland. We’ll stop for some great grub at Bull on the 19th Pub overlooking a beautiful golf course. They have put together an abbreviated custom menu for us so that they can get our large group out quickly. There will be burgers, sandwiches and salads available to order.

Rodeo admission is only $15 per person if we have a group of 20 or more. If we do have 20, I will collect your $15 at dinner so I can purchase all the tickets in one transaction to get the discount. Please have exact change.

After the rodeo we will ride back as a group on the NJ Turnpike. All riders should be comfortable with night group riding on the highway.
