The festival
In Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, just 30 minutes from Quebec City, Rodéo made the Parc du Grand-Héron the western capital of the Jacques-Cartier for a long weekend. For its 27th edition, from June 25 to 28, 2026, the event organized by Événements Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier brought together more than 450 cowboys and cowgirls from Quebec, Ontario and the United States — the official site said to host more than 28,000 spectators each year.
On the 2026 program: rodeo competitions, and on Saturdays the derby, horse-drawn and dance duel; mini rodeo and family place for toddlers; exhibitors, artisans, traders and restaurateurs; camping near the river and, new 2026, a free shuttle service. More than 150 volunteers tour the event, with a family turn assumed since 2015. Online ticketing via the official website.
