Normally this time of year the top cowboys and cowgirls in rodeo are turning Las Vegas into cowboy town, but this year—due to COVID-19—the athletes are heading to Texas instead. With the usual excitement that surrounds the National Finals Rodeo, comes the same daytime activities. Fans travel far and wide to watch rodeo at night and shop during the day. And this temporary move means that you can still get the NFR experience as you shop your favorite brands, watch live events, and get athlete autographs at Cowboy Christmas at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Free to the public, Cowboy Christmas is open daily (Dec. 3-12) from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Shopping
With more than 225 unique exhibitors, with items including Western wear, custom jewelry, original art, leather goods, handmade crafts, furniture, and tack, there’s something for everyone. If you’re unable to attend, you can shop the vendors virtually here.
