The Moosomin Chamber of Commerce has announced the theme for the 2026 parade as “Moosomin Through the Ages,” with this year’s event set for Saturday, July 11 at 10am.
The annual parade will once again be held during the Bulls and Broncs weekend and organizers are encouraging local businesses, community group, sports teams, organizations and residents to take part.

This year’s theme, Moosomin Through the Ages, invites participants to celebrate different eras and moments from Moosomin’s history, with floats and entries encouraged to showcase decades gone by through costumes, music, vehicles, decorations and community spirit.
Parade marshalling will begin at 9 a.m. behind McNaughton High School. The parade route will begin in the McNaughton High School parking lot before traveling north on Birtle Street, east on South Front Street, south on Main Street and East on Wright Road to the Southeast Integrated Care Centre.

Anyone interested in entering a float or participating in the parade can contact Kevin Weedmark at kevin@world-spectator.com.

Bulls and Broncs Rodeo

Moosomin Bulls and Broncs vice-president Chelan Dequier says preparations are underway for this year’s annual rodeo weekend, scheduled for Friday, July 11 at 7 p.m. in Moosomin.
The rodeo performance will feature bucking horse and bull riding events, followed by live entertainment later in the evening.

Dequier said the event continues to be one of the larger summer attractions in Moosomin alongside provincial ball tournaments and the fireworks show, drawing between 1,200 and 1,500 people to town annually over the past several years.

She said the event provides economic benefits for local businesses, hotels, restaurants, and stores, while also depending heavily on community sponsorship and volunteer support.

This year’s entertainment will feature the return of the Back 40 Drifters, a local band familiar to many residents from pre-COVID performances.

Dequier said sponsorships help cover the cost of bringing in animals, contestants, and entertainment, while also allowing the organization to support local groups and initiatives each year.

In previous years, portions of proceeds have gone toward local fire departments, minor hockey, minor ball, and healthcare-related causes. Fire departments have also assisted with beer garden operations during the event.

The organization continues working toward producing a larger-scale rodeo experience, including the use of a large LED screen, camera crews, and additional entertainment features designed to create a professional rodeo atmosphere.

The event will also include a Calcutta, where attendees can place bids connected to riders competing during the performance.

Sponsorship opportunities remain available for businesses interested in supporting the event.
