The 59th Annual Dixie National Rodeo returns next year Feb. 9 through 17 and tickets are on sale today, Friday, Sept. 29, at www.ticketmaster.com and https://www.dixienational.org.

The Dixie National Rodeo, produced by Harper & Morgan Rodeo, is billed as the largest professional rodeo east of the Mississippi River.

“We are excited to announce this year’s entertainment lineup for the annual Dixie National Rodeo,” said Andy Gipson Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce. “As we’ve seen shows sell out quickly in years past, I encourage the public to purchase their tickets in advance.”
