R-Ranch Rodeo

Saddle up for one of North Georgia’s most exciting annual traditions — the R-Ranch Rodeo, formerly known as the Mountain Top Rodeo! Held at the scenic R-Ranch in the Mountains near Dahlonega, this two-day ticketed event typically takes place at the beginning of June, bringing the spirit of the Wild West to the heart of the Appalachian foothills.

What makes this rodeo truly special is its breathtaking location. Nestled in the North Georgia mountains, R-Ranch offers panoramic views and a rustic, open-air setting that perfectly complements the energy and heritage of the rodeo. It’s not just a show, it’s an experience surrounded by natural beauty.

Since its start in 1989, the R-Ranch Rodeo has been a staple of the Southeastern rodeo circuit, drawing top talent and enthusiastic crowds year after year. Visitors can expect thrilling competitive events such as Barrel Racing, Team Roping, Bareback Bronc Riding, and Bull Riding, with plenty of edge-of-your-seat action for rodeo fans of all ages.

Beyond the arena, guests can enjoy live music from local artists, a memorable halftime show, and a lively, family-friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned rodeo enthusiast or just looking for a fun weekend adventure, the R-Ranch Rodeo offers a perfect blend of tradition, adrenaline, and mountain charm.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable summer celebration in one of the most beautiful spots in North Georgia!
