About NSGRA

Since its inception in the mid-1980s, thousands of men and women across North America have taken part annually in a phenomenon known as "gay rodeo." The International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) was born, and the North Star Gay Rodeo Association became a member association in 1989, representing members and contestants in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the upper Mid-West. Now 27 associations strong, gay rodeo clubs have raised hundreds of thousands to support charitable organizations across the country.

NSGRA welcomes you to experience the thrill of live rodeo competition, including rough stock, horse, roping and/or "camp" events. Share the special passion this group has for country & western dance socials. Become a member and help us make our community a better place for everyone.

Whether you participate as a contestant, observe as a spectator or volunteer your time, your membership is valued. Get involved in as much or as little as you like. Gay rodeo has a variety of things to offer.  It is the policy of NSGRA that your personal information remains confidential.
