Bull riding and Montana go hand-in-hand, so it's no surprise that the annual Big Sky Professional Bull Riding event generates such a massive turnout each year. There's still time to plan your experience at Big Sky PBR 2025, which will take place at Big Sky Events Arena in — you guessed it — Big Sky, MT.
The three nights of Challenger Series Professional Bull Riding will begin on Thursday, July 17. The events will feature some of the world's top riders and some of the strongest bulls on the planet. And, there's a number of different ticket options for fans to customize their experience.
The event must be doing something right, because Big Sky PRB has been named the PBR Event of the Year for 11 consecutive years. It's truly one of the most unique events in the history of bull riding, and it has earned its place as the most coveted event of the PBR calendar year.
