(Jackson, Mississippi) The Dixie National Livestock Show and Rodeo in Jackson, Mississippi, stands proud as the largest rodeo event east of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1965 by a forward-thinking group of Mississippi visionaries and agriculture pioneers, this beloved winter tradition has grown from a humble regional gathering into a massive, multi-week extravaganza. Hosted at the expansive 105-acre Mississippi Fairgrounds Complex, the Dixie National seamlessly bridges the gap between authentic Western heritage, thrilling PRCA rodeo competition, and world-class live entertainment. Every February, hundreds of thousands of fans, families, and premier cowboys and cowgirls from across the globe descend upon downtown Jackson to experience heart-pounding arena action and an electric atmosphere. World-class country music concert lineup is arguably the crown jewel of the Dixie National experience. The event has mastered a legendary formula: every single PRCA rodeo performance is immediately followed by a full-length concert by a major recording artist, all included in the price of a single ticket.
