However, there are incredible live shows being put up all across the globe and one of the best ones is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The event has been held every year since 1932 and has increased in size and stature each year. The purpose behind the show was to encourage and educate people about the livestock and farming industry as well as to promote research into ways the industry can be improved. It is also used to promote Rodeos and is a mine of information regarding livestock. They also provide several scholarships and grants for people who want to broaden their understanding of the subject.

The festival has grown since its inception and is now much more than just a promotion tool for the livestock industry. As the popularity of the show grew and attracted an increasing number of people, entertainment acts were also added to keep people engaged and coming back for more. Today, the event is as much about livestock as it is about having fun.

The show features some of the best musical talents from all across the country and has featured artists like Elvis, Bob Dylan, Bon Jovi, ZZ Top, Taylor Swift, Usher, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many more. These amazing singers, coupled with the rodeo performances as well as the parades, livestock competitions, Bar-B-Que contests and pig racing etc keep on adding to the entertainment value of the entire event.

 It all started with the formation of the Houston Fat Stock Show and Livestock Exposition in 1931 after seven friends from Texas decided to do something new to promote livestock farming. The very next year they held the first show and within six years the organization had managed to build their own arena. Soon after they started giving scholarships and in 1957 Ben Dickerson became the first recipient of a two thousand dollar educational scholarship. The event's current name was adopted in 1961 and after several years of hard work, the show was broadcast on national television for the first time in 1994.

Since that time, the whole event has become one of the premier festivals in the city of Houston. It has increased the popularity of the city and has become a symbol for the whole community there. The show has helped out a large amount of people in pursuing their dreams and making a career in this field by offering them scholarships in excess of ten thousand dollars each. Now you have the opportunity to be a part of this event. Just get your Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo tickets to enjoy all the action live at the NRG Stadium.
