About the Cattle Drive

The Cattle Drive consists of sixty Longhorns along with other motorized groups and riders that parade from downtown Amarillo to the Tri-State Fairgrounds in a procession that harks back to the emergence of Amarillo as a premier cattle shipping market in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Spectators are encouraged to cheer on the cattle and riders from any point along the route as the drive makes its way through downtown and into the fairgrounds.
