Wildwood, N.J. – A high-octane rodeo experience is headed for the beaches of Wildwood as the Stampede Rodeo rolls into town on Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 17, 2025. Hosted near Mariner’s Pier on East Baker Avenue, the family-friendly event will include bull riding, barrel racing, trick riding, and more. Presented by Event Tech LLC and Red Eye Rodeo Co., the rodeo features two evening shows starting at 7 p.m. each night. General admission is priced at $25 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. to allow guests to explore the Western Midway, which will include food vendors, craft booths, and beer provided by MudHen Brewery. A kids’ pre-show kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with stick horse racing and sheep riding.
Featured events include girls’ barrel racing, breakaway roping, trick riding, and “Spectator Bull Hockey,” all sanctioned by the Southern Extreme Bull Riding Association. Bull riding, billed as the world’s most dangerous sport, will headline both shows. Those looking for an enhanced experience can opt for a VIP upgrade, which includes priority seating, a souvenir lanyard, and a meet-and-greet with performers after the show. Entertainment throughout the weekend will also feature rodeo personalities known as Dave “Showtime” Meyer and Jacob the Amishman. Tickets and more details can be found online at www.bullsonbeach.com.
