Rawhide Western Town and Event Center – Chandler, Arizona Tickets
Discover the Iconic Rawhide Western Town and Event Center
Step back in time and experience the Wild West like never before at Rawhide Western Town and Event Center, located just off the I-10 freeway in Chandler, Arizona. With its authentically recreated 1880s Western setting and spacious event grounds, Rawhide has become one of Arizona’s most unique and memorable destinations for entertainment, festivals, rodeos, and concerts.
Originally established in 1971, Rawhide first opened its doors in Scottsdale before relocating in 2005 to its current location at Wild Horse Pass. This move allowed the venue to expand and accommodate even larger crowds while still preserving the frontier charm that made it famous. Today, Rawhide Western Town continues to entertain guests with its historic storefronts, mock shootouts, petting zoo, live stunt shows, and more—all while hosting a range of large-scale concerts and events throughout the year.
Whether you're catching a country music headliner under the desert stars, attending the Arizona Barrels, Bottles & Brews festival, or enjoying the thrill of a rodeo competition, Rawhide offers an immersive event experience that blends modern production with Old West flair.
