Alexandra Pro Rodeo Postponed, April 2026 Edition Coming
Alexandra has been significantly impacted by the recent fires. Many people in our community have lost homes, others have lost stock, fencing, sheds, or parts of their property. As a town, we are now moving from initial response into recovery, and that will take time. Current advice is that this fire event will continue to be active for weeks to come.
Every member of the Alexandra Pro Rodeo committee is deeply involved in different parts of the emergency and recovery effort right now. Because of this, and out of respect for what our community is dealing with, we have made the decision not to run the Alexandra Pro Rodeo this weekend.
Instead, the Alexandra Pro Rodeo will be postponed until April 2026, with the exact date to be confirmed shortly.
But there is an opportunity in this pause.
With time now on our side, we want to dedicate the 2026 Alexandra Pro Rodeo to rebuilding our community. This will be a disaster recovery-focused event. A bigger event, more entertainment, a stronger rodeo program, more for families and visitors, and more opportunities to directly support Alexandra and the people affected by these fires.
We are no strangers to using our events to back important local causes. Over the years, we have helped fund and build community infrastructure, supported men’s health initiatives through our hospital, invested in aged care, and much more. This time, the cause is personal. These fires have hit close to home, and they have affected people we know, work with, and care about.
So we are all in on making the April edition of the Alexandra Pro Rodeo the very best it can be, and using it to support our community in a meaningful way.
Is that something you could get behind?
Are you keen to see the strongest Alexandra Pro Rodeo we’ve ever run?
We know there will be questions, particularly around tickets. Existing tickets will automatically transfer to the new April date. We also understand the new date may suit some people better than others, and that’s okay. We will work through those details and share clear information shortly.
For now, we ask just three things:
Please don’t come to Alexandra for the rodeo this weekend. If you’re keen for rodeo, consider supporting another event elsewhere.
Keep our community and emergency crews front of mind over the coming weeks.
Watch this space. We’ll be announcing the new April date very soon.
Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and your continued support of Alexandra.
