Cowboys and Indians have been part of Casa Grande for over 100 years. Come out and join us as we celebrate our rich heritage. From February 18th-26th Casa Grande will transform into a colorful festival full of Native American arts/crafts, rodeos, and much more! Don’t miss the parade in Downtown Casa Grande at 9 a.m. on February 18 and the All-Indian Rodeo featuring members of the Ak-Chin, Gila River, Salt River Pima, and Tohono O’odham Nations.
The City of Casa Grande is proud to be one of the many sponsors of the Casa Grande Indian & Cowboy Days.
