November is about to get a whole lot more exciting in downtown Phoenix. We’re talking rodeo action, live country music, great food, and plenty of people ready to have a good time. Hondo Rodeo Fest Phoenix returns to Chase Field November 13–15, 2026, and we’re looking forward to seeing downtown buzzing all weekend long.

If you’re heading to the rodeo, coming into town for the concerts, or just looking for something fun to do in Phoenix this November, here’s what you should know before you go.

Hondo Rodeo Fest Phoenix Takes Over Chase Field

Three nights. Three rodeo competitions. Three big concerts. Not a bad way to spend a weekend!

The 2026 event runs Friday, November 13 through Sunday, November 15 at Chase Field. Each night combines a full rodeo competition with a concert afterward. According to the Arizona Diamondbacks official Hondo Rodeo Fest page, this year’s lineup includes Tim McGraw with Miranda Lambert on Friday, Blake Shelton with Turnpike Troubadours on Saturday, and Parker McCollum with Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sunday.

And the rodeo itself isn’t exactly a warm-up act. You’ll see events including bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, saddle bronc, steer wrestling, and more. Visit Arizona’s event listing has the full rundown of what to expect.

Don't Miss the Hondo Street Fest

Here’s one of our favorite parts: you don’t have to have a rodeo ticket to enjoy the Hondo Street Fest.

The free street festival adds even more energy around Chase Field, with food, vendors, entertainment, shopping, and plenty of activity throughout the day. So, why rush straight to your seat?

Come downtown early, grab something to eat, check out the festival, and enjoy the atmosphere before the rodeo gets underway. When thousands of people are out enjoying the city, downtown Phoenix is at its best—and that’s exactly where we like to be.

Getting Around Downtown Phoenix

We know that getting around during a major event can be half the adventure. Streets get busy, parking fills up, and nobody wants to spend the evening circling the block looking for a spot.

That’s where we come in.

At Blue Lion Pedicabs, we love working the big events around downtown Phoenix. Our pedicabs are an easy, eco-friendly way to make those shorter trips while staying right in the middle of the action. Whether you’re heading toward Chase Field, meeting friends downtown, grabbing dinner, or moving between stops, we can help you get there without adding another car to the mix.

And let’s be honest—riding through a busy Phoenix event in a pedicab is just more fun than sitting in traffic.

We’re also right at home around major downtown venues and events, which means our drivers know the area and the energy that comes with a big Phoenix weekend.

Turn Your Pedicab Ride Into Advertising

Big events like Hondo Rodeo Fest don’t just bring people to downtown Phoenix—they put thousands of potential customers out and about in one concentrated area. That makes event weekends an interesting opportunity for businesses looking to get their brand in front of a live, local audience.

Advertising on pedicabs gives businesses another way to stand out during a busy event. Pedicabs naturally move through areas where people are walking, dining, shopping, and gathering, giving branded pedicabs visibility throughout the event area.

For businesses, sponsors, restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, and other local brands, pedicab advertising can help put your message directly in front of people while they’re already out enjoying Phoenix.

Instead of a traditional ad that someone may scroll past or drive by, a branded pedicab becomes part of the event environment. Your business can be seen as the pedicab moves through downtown, creating repeated opportunities for people to notice the brand.

Hondo Rodeo Fest is also the kind of event that attracts visitors from outside Phoenix, making event advertising an opportunity to introduce your business to people who may be exploring the city for the first time.

Make a Weekend Out of It

Why make the rodeo your only stop?

Phoenix has plenty happening in November, from sports and live entertainment to festivals and cultural events. Visit Phoenix’s fall event guide is a great way to build a full weekend itinerary around your trip.

You could start your day with lunch downtown, explore a few local spots, check out the Hondo Street Fest, and then head over to Chase Field for the rodeo and concert. When the event wraps up, downtown still has plenty of places to keep the night going.

We’ll be out there enjoying the action right along with you.

Make the Most of Rodeo Weekend

Hondo Rodeo Fest brings a whole lot of energy to Phoenix November 13–15. With professional rodeo competition, major country artists, a free street festival, and everything else happening downtown, it’s shaping up to be a fun weekend.

So come early, explore a little, enjoy the show, and don’t forget to leave room for some Phoenix adventures along the way. And if you see one of our pedicabs rolling through the crowd, come say hi!
