Out at the Rodeo returned to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with its largest event to date, drawing LGBTQ Houstonians and allies to the Wine Garden in the Bluebonnet Tent for an afternoon of entertainment, visibility, and community—with OutSmart magazine as a proud sponsor.

The 2026 event marked two milestones for the organization: its fifth official Out at the Rodeo celebration and 10 years since its founding in 2015. What began as a small meetup has grown into an established part of rodeo season, and this year’s turnout reflected that growth. Organizers estimated that roughly 3,000 guests visited the tent and gathered on Bluebonnet Hill throughout the day, generating more than $10,000 in wine sales.

Programming included the Queens of the Rodeo drag show featuring Blackberri, Adriana LaRue, Artemis Hunter, and Juecee, along with music from DJ Stephen Jusko. Guests also received commemorative bandanas and pins, with the bandanas designed by local artist Angel Albarran.

One of the day’s defining moments came at 5:30 p.m., when Out at the Rodeo received an official proclamation from the City of Houston. Mayor John Whitmire, Councilman Mario Castillo, and Constable Sylvia Treviño recognized the organization’s impact by declaring March 21, 2026, Out at the Rodeo Day in Houston. Presented in honor of the organization’s fifth year, the proclamation placed the event in a broader civic context and underscored its role in creating a more visible and inclusive space for LGBTQ Houstonians within one of the city’s most prominent traditions.

Out at the Rodeo’s Wild Wild Wet Pool Party transformed @montrosecountryclub into a lively celebration of summer, bringing together LGBTQ community members and allies for an afternoon of music, poolside fun, and connection. Guests floated in the pool, relaxed under umbrellas, and danced to country and disco-inspired sets by DJ Stephen Jusko.

Cowboy hats, swimsuits, and colorful floaties added to the festive atmosphere, while the event blended casual summer vibes with community spirit. A portion of ticket sales supported Out at the Rodeo’s year-round programming, making the gathering both a fundraiser and a celebration of queer friendship, visibility, and summer fun.
