The National Junior High Finals Rodeo will be held on Sunday, June 20th – Saturday, June 26th, 2021 in Des Moines, Iowa. This Des Moines rodeo is held at Iowa State Fairgrounds.

Each summer, the “best of the best” from each state and province qualify for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo. Approximately 1,000 competitors show off their talents in the event and compete for thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes. Gallup, N.M., hosted the NJHFR from 2005 through 2013. The rodeo moved to Des Moines, Iowa, for 2014-15 and was hosted by Lebanon, Tenn., in 2016-17. After Lebanon, we moved to Huron, SD for 2018-19, and will arrive in back in Des Moines, IA for 2020-21.
