The Clements Stampede exists to preserve and celebrate the Western way of life: past, present, and future.
What started in 1940 as a simple idea between a few local ranchers has grown into a tradition that continues to bring people together year after year. Built on grit, community, and a shared love for the land, the Stampede reflects the values that have long defined Clements and the people who call it home.
Since the first rodeo in 1942, the focus has remained the same: authentic, round-up style competition that showcases the real skills of working cowboys and cowgirls. These aren’t just events. They’re a reflection of everyday ranch life, honoring the heritage, work ethic, and spirit of the Western lifestyle.
Today, the Clements Stampede continues to thrive through the dedication of volunteers, local families, and the support of surrounding businesses. Held on grounds generously donated in its early days, the event stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Clements. Here hard work, tradition, and a love for the cowboy way of life still run deep.
Whether you’re competing, volunteering, or cheering from the stands, you’re part of something bigger- a legacy carried on through generations.
