Beyond the arena, local bars and restaurants are leaning into the rodeo spirit with themed cocktails and pop-up events. The annual tradition remains one of the city’s biggest economic and cultural drivers, blending entertainment with education and agriculture.

As the week unfolds, public safety updates, campaign developments and rodeo festivities are expected to stay front and center across San Antonio.
