California Rodeo Salinas Closes Out 112th Year with Championship Sunday
The last performance of the California Rodeo Salinas entertained 15,569 fans at the Salinas Sports Complex. Attendance was up 5.5% over the same performance in 2019, the last year that the Rodeo was held in July, and up 19.6% over the Sunday performance in September of 2021.

Sunday was Crown Royal Day of Champions, where event winners were presented their buckles, and Man Up Crusade Day, a program that brings awareness to domestic violence. The California Rodeo Salinas partners locally with the YWCA of Monterey County to raise funds and awareness for their non-profit which provides shelter and services to domestic violence victims.
Tyler Pearson of Atoka, OK won the All-Around title and Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi of Lampasas, TX won her 5th Salinas barrel racing championship buckle.
