Grand National Rodeo

San francisco (2022)

The Grand National Rodeo at the Cow Palace, now in its 74th year, is an annual tradition. The Cow Palace itself is a San Francisco institution having hosted legendary acts like Nirvana, U2, Prince, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles last concert.

The Grand National Rodeo and the Cow Palace are a match made in cowboy heaven. They are a juxtaposition with the San Francisco of today, a city in a tech frenzy moving forward and not looking back. Despite the rapidly changing city around it, this annual tradition rides on.
