Arima Park Rodeo at Rising Sun is currently the largest and best rodeo event in Guyana. With events of an International standard, attracting local and international Pro Vaqueros and fans alike from several countries throughout South America / Latin America; and the Rupununi.
The Rodeo events on the card include Wild Cow Milking, Calf Roping, Bareback Bronco, Bull Riding, Saddle Bronco, and Barrel Racing.
Arima Park Rodeo at Rising Sun aims to attract a wider audience of fans especially from the greater Georgetown area, East Coast and surrounding areas.
The sponsors include: the Ministry of Tourism, Guyana Tourism Authority, Banks DIH Limited, Jumbo Jet Auto Sales, Ishan Bacchus Trucking, Shariff Racing Stables, and Metro Office Supplies.
Arima Park Rodeo at Rising Sun is planning on holding this event twice per year, beginning in 2016. The local turn out which has made the event a success, was instrumental in that decision making. The only other Rodeo event in Guyana is held in the Rupununi Savannah hundreds of miles from Georgetown, making it impossible for many sporting fans to enjoy a top tier Rodeo close to home. The Arima Park Organisors have mobilized a huge effort to get Vaqueros and their entourage to travel to Guyana from many countries in Latin America and South America.
