Watch Texas Longhorns make their way through downtown Amarillo on Saturday, June 6th, 2026 (10 AM). The parade will feature the Longhorns along with other motorized vehicles and periodic staged old west shootouts.
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.
Starting north on Polk Street, the drive takes a right turn onto 3rd Street. From there, it continues to Marrs, turning right for a short stretch before making a left onto 10th Street. From there the Cattle Drive will head into the fairgrounds under the lighted arch. The cattle will cover the route in about an hour. Spectators are encouraged to cheer on the cattle and riders from any point along the route.
The Longhorns will remain on display at the fairgrounds during the Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo in the Amarillo National Center.
