Mutton Bustin'

Presented by H-E-B

Year after year, Mutton Bustin' is a sight to see. This crowd-pleasing event is for all to enjoy, but only for children to participate in. Sign-ups for Mutton Bustin' open September 3, 2026 at 10:00 A.M.

What is Mutton Bustin' ?
It’s where a child rides the back of a sheep and holds on as long as they can - hopefully for a full 8 seconds!
The child must be between the ages of 4 - 7 years old and weigh 55 pounds or less at the time of their ride. There are no refunds, so it is important to note your child must fall within the age and weight guidelines to ride on their designated day. Please note that you cannot switch days either, so make sure you select the day and time you want to ride. Available spots are first-come, first-serve.

*SOLD OUT*

2026 Registration is currently sold out! We do not have a wait list - if there are any cancellations we will take "walk ups" on the day of on a first come first serve basis.
