Alexandra Pro Rodeo

Following an emergency management briefing today with CFA, Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, SES, and the local Incident Control Centre, the decision has been made to postpone the Alexandra Pro Rodeo scheduled for this weekend.

While weather conditions are expected to ease on Saturday, the Catastrophic fire danger forecast for tomorrow and the potential of ongoing fire activity over coming days presents a real risk. Authorities have advised they cannot support the event proceeding, and we fully agree that everyone's safety must come first.

The Alexandra Pro Rodeo will now be rescheduled to Friday 16 January.

We understand there will be lots of questions around tickets, travel, competitors, and next steps. We are working through these now and will provide clear updates in the comments below as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our community during a challenging time. Stay cool and stay safe!

We understand that ParksVic and Emergency Services are encouraging people pack up camp if they are in one of the local national or state parks, due to the current weather conditions.

If that's you, then please don't forget there are lots of camping facilities in Alexandra for the night of the Rodeo.

Remember, there’s no camping at the Alexandra Pro Rodeo. But there are some great options within a few minutes walk.

The Alexandra Showgrounds is a great option. Leave your car, set up camp, and wander across the park to the rodeo.
