Lethbridge & District Pro Rodeo
Following a successful inaugural event in 2022, Lethbridge & District Exhibition is proud to once again host the Lethbridge & District Pro Rodeo from Aug. 24 – 26, 2023. This three-day event is the only CPRA rodeo in Lethbridge that showcases the history, people and culture of Southern Alberta.
