Such a fun idea. My grandkids are visiting in July and this might be perfect timing if the dates line up.
The carnival games alone are going to cost me a fortune with my kids. You know how that goes.
Hope they bring it back next year too if it goes well. One summer event can turn into a real annual tradition.
That's exactly the hope, an event like this has all the ingredients to become a beloved annual tradition for the Doylestown area, and a strong first summer would be the perfect foundation for just that.
Really love seeing unique events like this pop up locally. Keeps people from feeling like they have to leave the area for everything.
Priya S.Exactly. We drove all the way to the Lehigh Valley for stuff last summer. Nice to actually have something worth going to close by for once.
That's really the heart of what this event is all about, giving the community a reason to stay close to home and build new traditions right here, rather than driving hours for a real rodeo experience.
My son asked me what bull riding is and now I have to take him so he can see for himself. Thanks a lot.
dave_from_warminsterHa that is such a dad problem to have. Sounds like a great excuse to go though. Report back on what he thinks of the real thing.
Showed this to my husband and he said and I quote let's go. First time he has agreed to anything fun in months.
KarenMcD.Ha! Same energy in my house. My husband never wants to go anywhere and he was actually the one who sent me the link. Must be the bull riding.
Not usually a rodeo person but the food trucks might get me out there. BBQ and a good show sounds fine by me.
Anyone know if there is parking on site or if you have to shuttle in? That always matters with big events.
The floodlights and night show sounds like the best part to me. An evening rodeo sounds like a real experience.
I grew up here and this area really does not have enough summer events. This is a welcome change.
AmandaPHGrew up here too and totally agree. Summer always felt a little quiet once the fair was done. This is exactly the kind of thing the area needs more of.
Kind of wish this was two weekends instead of one. One weekend is going to go fast.
We hear you, when you pack in bull riding, barrel racing, carnival games, a petting zoo, and food trucks, one weekend does feel like it might fly by too fast, so we'd say grab those tickets early!
rick_t_doylestownRight? One weekend is going to sell out so fast. Hopefully if the turnout is good they bring it back next year and make it longer.
The farm crafts for kids sound adorable. My daughter would love that way more than the actual rodeo if I'm being honest.
Honestly, those farm-inspired crafts might just steal the show for the younger crowd, we love that the event is designed so every family member, even the ones unbothered by bull riding, goes home with a highlight of their own!
NAC Village Farm is a great spot for this. The grounds are big enough to actually pull something like this off.
You're absolutely right, the sprawling grounds of NAC Village Farm are a big part of what makes this whole vision possible, giving organizers the space to fit everything from the arena to carnival games and food trucks without it feeling cramped.
Went to a rodeo years ago out west and still talk about it. Cannot wait to have that experience close to home.
Hope the organizers really do have safety handled well. Bull riding near a crowd of kids sounds like something that needs serious planning.
skeptical_steve_pFrom what I understand these professional rodeo setups travel all over and have the safety stuff pretty dialed in. Still fair to ask though, I'd want to know the same thing before bringing my kids.
It's a completely fair point, and the organizers have emphasized that safety is a top priority, with trained staff positioned throughout the grounds and every activity carefully planned so families can relax and enjoy every moment.
My wife is already planning outfits for the kids. Full cowboy hats and boots apparently. I have no say in the matter.
Pete GallagherThis made me laugh. My daughter is already asking if she can get a cowboy hat too and she saw it for about ten seconds on my phone. Good luck to you both.
This is exactly the kind of thing families need around here. Something different and genuinely fun for everyone.
Already bought tickets. Saw they might sell out fast and did not want to risk it.
I hope the food trucks are actually good. That can make or break an outdoor event like this.
We couldn't agree more, the food truck lineup is being curated to offer everything from classic barbecue to local favorites, because a great outdoor event absolutely deserves great food to match.
Barrel racing is my favorite to watch. Way more exciting than people give it credit for.
The petting zoo alone will make my toddler's entire summer. She is obsessed with farm animals.
Shelley KrauseSame with my 3 year old. Honestly the petting zoo might be more exciting to her than the bull riding. Worth the trip just for that part.
I grew up watching rodeos in Texas. Never thought I'd see one near Doylestown. Honestly kind of shocked in a good way.
That's exactly the kind of reaction we were hoping to capture, the Doylestown area has never seen anything quite like this before, so welcome to a little slice of Texas right in the neighborhood!
Taking my kids for sure. They have never seen bull riding in person before. This is going to be so cool for them.
NAC Village Farm is right down the road from us. Had no idea they were doing something like this. Pretty cool.
Greg HollowaySame, I drive past NAC all the time and had no clue. Glad the article came up or I would have missed it completely.
Finally something fun to do in Bucks County this summer! We always end up driving to Jersey for anything exciting.
