                                La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros
                                         Feb 18 - 26, 2005 - Tucson, AZ

The first La Fiesta de los Vaqueros (Celebration of the Cowboys) in 1925 touted four days of events and competition. Today, the event has grown to a nine-day celebration centered on the Tucson Rodeo, one of the top 20 professional rodeos.

The Tucson Rodeo Parade is billed as the world’s longest non-motorized parade, this two-hour spectacle features western-themed floats and buggies, historic horse-drawn coaches, festive Mexican folk dancers, marching bands and outfitted riders. An estimated 200,000 spectators view the parade each year. The parade route begins at Park Ave. and Ajo Way, continues south on Park to Irvington Road, then heads west on Irvington Road to S. 6th Avenue, ending at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds.
