Our Growers Event will be happening all day on June 28 starting at 9:00 AM with the "Cutting of the Melons" at 9:30 AM!

Or Tickets will be available at the Gate.\n\n\n\n***Online Tickets can be picked up at the Greater Beauregard Chamber of Commerce (111 N Washington St.\; DeRidder) or mailed to your address. \n\n \n\nMore info online at: https://beauregardwatermelonfestival.com/bulls-%26-barrels-rodeo\n\n\n\nAlso taking place will be the Watermelon Classic Livestock Show!!\n\nJune 27\, 28\, 29\, 2025 \n\n \n\n\nWe're excited to bring the Watermelon Classic: Bulls & Barrels rodeo to the Beauregard Parish Fairgrounds on Saturday\, June 28\, 2025. Performance starts at 7:30 PM!\n\nAs you know our 2025 festival had to be rescheduled due to our original carnival cancelling in March. Our Growers Event is scheduled for Saturday\, June 28 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. \n\nWe are so excited to celebrate the harvest of our famous Sugartown Watermelons with our Grand Finale!! The Watermelon Classic: Bulls & Barrels rodeo! \n\n\n\n\nHow are we doing this you ask?\n\n\nJ2 Productions\, a sanctioned rodeo production company with the Louisiana Rodeo Cowboys Association\, is bringing in a portable rodeo arena with 6 bucking chutes complete with Arena Director\, Hunter Allen\, and staff to work the rodeo!  \n\n\n\n\nWhere is the arena being set up?\n\n\nThe production company will begin assembling the arena the week of June 23 on the midway of the Beauregard Parish Fairgrounds.  If you're not sure where the "midway" is located\, that is where the carnival rides are normally set up at. Large Bleachers are being delivered on Friday.  Also\, thank you to the City of DeRidder! They were kind enough to allow us use of the baseball field bleachers and the barricades.\n\n\n\n\nWhy the fairgrounds?\n\n\nWe wanted to make this Growers Event as memorable as possible! We had to move our festival dates but we wanted to create a big splash for our area farmers! The last rodeo event held on the fairgrounds was over 25 years ago. After much discussion with the Beauregard Parish Fair Association\, it was determined what better way to celebrate than to bring the rodeo back for this one-time event.  \n\n\n\n\nThings to Remember\n\n\n\n	Rodeo Gates open at 6:00 PM. \n	Entrance to the rodeo will be through the Pinewood gate (Mel Branch Dr) & the Ballfield gate (High School Dr). \n	Rodeo Tickets are $10 each. Free admission for ages 3 years & under.\n\n	Mutton Bustin at 6:30 PM.\n\n	Rodeo starts at 7:30 PM.
