Sterling Ranch Days

Dust Off Your Boots… Sterling Ranch Days Is Almost Here!

If your perfect weekend is part county fair, part neighborhood block party, then Sterling Ranch Days is calling your name.

Join us August 7, 8 & 9 as we celebrate everything that makes Sterling Ranch feel like home—with Western fun, friendly competition, live music, delicious food, and neighbors coming together for one unforgettable weekend.

Cheer on fearless mutton busters, test your skills in the chicken scramble and hobby horse barrel racing, toss a few “cow pies,” snap an old-time photo, meet friendly animals at the petting zoo, and enjoy live music while the kids play. Then wrap up the weekend by lining the streets for the horse parade and enjoying a community pancake breakfast.

So grab your hat and boots, and make some memories. Whether you’re here to compete, cheer from the sidelines, or simply soak up the atmosphere, Sterling Ranch Days is one tradition you won’t want to miss.
