Fiesta de los Vaqueros
This weeklong event in Tucson, Arizona, features the “world’s longest non-motorized parade” and the largest outdoor midwinter rodeo in the United States. The fiesta starts with the parade—a two-mile-long procession of more than 200 entries, including old horse-drawn vehicles such as buckboards, surreys, and Conestoga wagons.

There are also demonstrations by the Quadrille de Mujeres, a women’s precision-riding team. More… Discuss
