Nicola Valley Rodeo Grounds Bookings
Located in the heart of the beautiful & historic Nicola Valley, our rodeo grounds are set on the edge of the city of Merritt. The grounds are ideal to hold a variety of outdoor events, with lots of room for camping, including a limited number of RV power connections.
Merritt is conveniently located at the confluence of several major highways & is only a short drive from the Lower Mainland or the Okanagan. Our rodeo grounds are within minutes from downtown shops, restaurants & accommodations. We can host large or small groups & there is plenty of space for campers & horse trailers! 
Our grounds boast a large event arena, a warm-up arena, covered stands that can seat 2500, over 50 enclosed box stalls, several outdoor pens, modern washrooms & showers, and so much more! A recent grant from the Province of BC has provided a complete electrical upgrade and we now can boast night lighting throughout the grounds, multiple electrical outlets including RV and vendor power, a new sound system and solar panels to reduce our environmental footprint.
