Community Day at the Houston Rodeo: Free admission, fun deals

The excitement continues on Day 9 of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and today is extra special! It’s Community Day, meaning everyone gets in FREE until noon.

From families to first-timers, it’s a fantastic opportunity to experience all the rodeo has to offer without the cost of admission. KPRC 2′s Cathy Hernandez is live at NRG Park this morning, giving us the scoop on how families can take full advantage of today’s offerings.

This special day is all about making sure families of all sizes get a chance to enjoy the fun at the rodeo. From the thrilling carnival rides and Agventure to shopping and indulging in delicious food, there’s something for everyone.

Discounts and deals

Not only do you get in free until noon, but there are also some fantastic discounts available. From now until 4 p.m. at the Junction, you can enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free offer on rides and games. And when it comes to food, a mini corn dog, mini popcorn, or a small sour apple lemonade is only $3 each. It’s a perfect way to make the most of Community Day without breaking the bank!
