Ayer’s Cliff Rodeo

A new stage and three times more shows

A big western get-together, the Ayer’s Cliff Rodeo highlights country music in all its forms. This year, the site’s new set-up welcomes three times as many artists, with a new stage that will host all musical performances.

Concerts and fantastic rodeo feats mean you can dive into non-stop activities in the heart of the big festival atmosphere. The schedule will see headliners Brett Kissel and Matt Lang hit the stage. And don’t miss La Grand-Messe, tribute to Les Cowboys Fringants, Tennessee Whiskey, tribute to Chris Stapleton, David Pineau and local artists to discover.

A dose of country dancing every day

From Thursday to Sunday, show off your best country dance moves. Make your way to the Grande Stable and light up the dance floor: classes are available if you want to get started and evening dances are the perfect opportunity to put your skills to work in a friendly atmosphere.

Saturday, June 13, 2026, a real country dancing marathon takes place: the Ayer’s Cliff Rodeo opens the dance floor for 14 hours straight! Also on stage, the dance contest (sign-up required) during the day on Saturday–let the dancers wow you with their talents!

Sunday is an affordable family day

The Ayer’s Cliff Rodeo is also a big family gathering with a host of activities for kids. Sunday, June 14, 2026 is family day–the perfect time to enjoy free admission for visitors 12 and under.

Little cowboys and cowgirls can enjoy their own Western experience with mini pedal tractors, free face painting, a small farm with cute animals to meet, and of course the morning treasure hunt. A stop-in at the Family Place is another must-do for the fun inflatable games and a chance to bounce on the Euro Bungee trampoline–new this year for added adrenaline!
