Stay 2 Nights, Get 2 Rodeo Tickets!

Labor Day Weekend is Big Bear Lake’s last big send-off to summer — and this year, it comes with a rodeo. From September 4–7, the Big Bear Rodeo & Carnival takes over the Sandalwood Lot with professional bull riding and barrel racing Saturday and Sunday nights, a mechanical bull and carnival rides all weekend, a beer garden, live entertainment, and fair food, all just minutes from your cabin. Don’t miss the Boat Parade of Lights and drone show lighting up the lake Saturday night, either.
