Seventeen local businessmen found the Homestead Rodeo Association in 1952 after the Elks Lodge sponsors a first rodeo in 1949. The association leases a five acre tract from South Dade Farms, moves to the former city airport site in 1958 and rebuilds the grounds after Hurricane Andrew destroys them in 1992. It stages the only PRCA sanctioned rodeo in Miami-Dade County.
