HOUSTON — This past Sunday brought the 2025 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo to an end, with the Rodeo Houston Championships and a performance by new Star Trail of Fame member Luke Bryan closing out the show. The nightly performers drew in tens of thousands of attendees following the rodeo events.
NRG Park itself saw its largest-ever total attendance, with 2.7 million people visiting the rodeo grounds over a 23-day period, according to Rodeo Director of Strategic Communications Danielle Grossman. This year’s rodeo saw some familiar faces make a return to the rotating star stage, while several others made stand-out debuts at Rodeo Houston.
