Out at the Rodeo is Houston's LGBTQ+ celebration at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Eric Hulsey founded it in 2016.

The group runs independently, and the rodeo itself has no LGBTQ+ day of its own. In 2025 and 2026 the main event was a Saturday late in the rodeo's run, with drag shows, DJs and a commemorative pin. Raffles and community events between rodeos help pay for it.
