The Longhorn has been a staple at the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair for over 30 years and generations of music fans have been in attendance as big names such as George Canyon, Terri Clark, Washboard Union, Marty Stuart, Aaron Pritchett, Johnny Reid, and Gord Bamford have blown the roof off the Cloverdale Agriplex. With capacity for 3,000 fans, it's big-concert energy with easy access to get up close and personal with your favourite artists.
