Rodeo weeks fill every RV park and motel in Abilene, and the families who decide late end up an hour out anyway. A quiet riverfront park on the same interstate makes a calm base for the week. Here is what to know about rodeo RV parking for Abilene.
The Western Heritage Classic started in 1985, when local cowboys set up ranch-work competitions with a scoring system to decide the best working ranch. Today it runs four days each May with the ranch rodeo, the Bit and Spur show, a chuckwagon cookoff and a western parade. The 2026 event ran May 7 to 10; check the official site for 2027 dates.
