For two weeks in March, Austin is treated to this annual event, which features rodeo performances each night, followed by top music acts. Past performers have included Merle Haggard, Kathy Mattea, Brad Paisley, the Charlie Daniels Band, Maroon 5, Nelly, and Clay Walker. Other highlights include performances by regional musicians, the wacky high-diving pigs, lots of kid's activities and rides, a Wild West show, a petting zoo, and plenty of good old Texas cooking (including a BBQ Cook-off!). Proceeds fund college scholarships for central Texas students.
