The Angola Prison Rodeo, staged at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, is the longest running prison rodeo in the United States. It is held on one weekend in April and on every Sunday in October. On each occasion, thousands of visitors enter the prison complex. [1] Various prisoner organizations sell food at concession stands.
Spectators at the first rodeos had to either sit on pickup trucks or bring seating to view the small rodeo.

Today, its popularity has grown so large that the new arena accommodates more than 10,000 attendees.
