Step back in time for a week-long celebration of Gilbert’s western heritage and a salute to the community spirit that has thrived for more than a half a century. Contestants come from all over the country to participate in Jackpot Roping, Barrel Racing and the Budweiser IPRA Rodeo. In addition to Rodeo Park, Gilbert Days offers an old-town parade and carnival, complete with rides, games, prizes, and an abundance of mouth-watering concession stands.

Glendale residents (and non-residents, too!) can rent ramadas at several of Glendale’s public parks. These covered picnic areas include seating and grills and can be rented by the hour. There are ramadas of several different sizes available so they’re perfect for both small and large gatherings.
