The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, also called RodeoHouston or<br />
abbreviated HLSR, is one of the largest live entertainment and livestock<br />
exhibitions. It also includes one of the richest regular-season rodeo events.<br />
It has been held at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, since 2003. It was previously<br />
held in the Astrodome. It is considered to be the city’s “signature<br />
event,” much like New Orleans’s Mardi Gras, Dallas’s Texas State Fair, San<br />
Diego’s Comic-Con and New York City’s New Year’s Eve at Times Square.<br />

GO TEXAN DAY<br />
The Friday before the Parade,<br />
<strong>March</strong> 3, <strong>2017</strong>, is also known<br />
as “Go Texan Day,” where the<br />
entire population of Houston<br />
is encouraged to dress in<br />
Western attire, such as jeans,<br />
cowboy boots and cowboy<br />
hats. While the concept was<br />
discussed in 1938 by the General<br />
Manager of the Houston<br />
Chamber of Commerce, it was<br />
not until the 1950’s that it finally<br />
was put into practice. In<br />
1954, Archer Romero chaired<br />
the first Go Texan Committee<br />
to encourage what would<br />
later become a Houston tradition<br />
during the rodeo.<br />
RODEO HISTORY/FACTS<br />
RODEO PARADE<br />
In 1937, planning had begun for the first Rodeo Parade leading up to<br />
the 1938 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The first parade was<br />
headed by Mounted Police and various dignitaries on the city, county<br />
and state levels, who also rode horseback. There were two bands with<br />
a Drum and Bugle Corp.<br />
In 1952, the Salt Grass Trail ride was the first trail ride that was formed<br />
by only a few men. The following year, the publicity from that ride attracted<br />
more people to join.<br />
All of the Trail Riders converge on Memorial Park to camp out for the<br />
night before heading down Memorial Drive to where it empties out onto<br />
Texas Ave to line up for the parade.<br />
The parade has approximately 115 different groups joining in the festivities.<br />
There are 15 trail rides, 20 floats, 15 commercial wagons and<br />
stagecoaches and 10 to 15 university and high-school marching bands<br />
in addition to Show officials, other elected officials and dignitaries on<br />
horseback and in vehicles.<br />
