- Barrel Racing: A high-speed, timed event showcasing the athleticism of female riders and their horses.
The Fairgrounds and Livestock Show
The fairgrounds surrounding the Frost Bank Center and Freeman Coliseum are a destination in themselves. The San Antonio Stock Show is one of the largest in the nation, providing a platform for thousands of Texas youth to showcase their livestock projects.
- Livestock Show: View prize-winning cattle, swine, sheep, and goats, highlighting the future of Texas agriculture.
- Carnival: Featuring thrilling rides, classic games, and fair food favorites like Texas barbecue and funnel cakes.
