Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair Announces Official 2026 Event Schedule
A mix of new attractions and returning fair favourites will delight fairgoers at this year's extended long weekend of rodeo, music, and fair fun.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Surrey, B.C. – April 20th, 2026 – The Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair is proud to announce the official 2026 event schedule, unveiling five days of non-stop entertainment, expanded programming, and exciting new experiences from May 14–18, 2026, at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.
The big news is that four days isn't enough to hold everything this year. As a result, the event is opening one day early on Thursday night, launching an extended May Long Weekend celebration and delivering even more opportunities for fans to experience "An Original Kind of Country."
"The Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair has always been about bringing people together, and this year's expanded lineup really reflects that," says association president Kathy Sheppard. "Whether you're coming for the rodeo, the live music, the family-friendly attractions, or just the atmosphere, the scale and diversity of what's happening across the grounds make this a truly unforgettable May Long Weekend tradition."
With over 100 live performances across seven stages, world-class rodeo competition, and a vibrant fair atmosphere filled with over a dozen new attractions, the 2026 Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair continues a multi-year trend of growth and evolution as one of Western Canada's biggest community events.
"We've added an extra day, more entertainment, and more experiences than ever before. The new Thursday kickoff and expanded attractions really take the event to another level," added Sheppard.
