There was plenty to see, do and enjoy during the 2026 Rodeo Week in Oakdale, from the Cowgirl Luncheon to the downtown parade, not to mention all the events at the Oakdale Saddle Club Rodeo Grounds.

The various activities staged throughout the week included a few that had to deal with raindrops, but that didn't seem to dampen anyone's spirit, and there were sunny skies for the Saturday morning parade. As usual, good crowds turned out to support all the events.
