Taylor Rodeo
Since 1950, the Taylor Rodeo Association has proudly brought to you the Taylor Annual Rodeo in the hometown of Bill Pickett. The crowds that come to this yearly event have grown because of the enthusiasm and the excitement– but most of all for the entertainment they receive. Over the years the Taylor Annual Rodeo has become the big fish in a small pond. It is one of the biggest and best small-town rodeos anywhere.

San Francisco-based swanky rock group Thrown-Out Bones is a band of rediscovery and celebration. Every performance is experimental and unique, every song a driving search for the truth of being human, and every fan essential to the collective energy of the experience. With over ten years of playing together, members Liliana Urbain [drums, lead vocals], Nick Chang [guitar, vocals], and Sam Miller [bass, vocals] have honed a unique, multi-genre musical language that slides from jazz to funk to rock to psychedelic jam breakdowns. On stage, the joy they have playing together is infectious and electric, manifesting their signature spontaneity. Whether it be improvising songs about a member of the audience or inviting them onstage to sing lead, Thrown-Out Bones rides the electricity of a live crowd and encourages fans to drive what each show looks and sounds like.
In order to showcase the unique businesses in downtown Taylor, shops are open late (until 9 p.m.) on the second Saturday of every month! Door prizes, music and food make this exciting event something to look forward to every month!
