About Us

The Dixie National Livestock Show and Rodeo began in 1965 as the brainchild of a handful of Jackson visionaries including Herman Massey, Percy Quinn, Robert Stockett, and former Commissioner of Agriculture Si Corley. The event has grown and evolved over the years. It now has an estimated annual economic impact of over $20million and draws in well over 100,000 visitors to the Fairgrounds each year.

The Dixie National Rodeo is one of the largest professional rodeos east of the Mississippi River. The Dixie National Rodeo has been nominated numerous times for the Top 5 Large Indoor Rodeos of the Year, with the most recent nomination being in 2021. This award is voted on by the cowboys of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).
