Cracker Day

Grab your Stetson and polish those boots because the 76th Annual Cracker Day is galloping into DeLand with a true taste of Florida cowboy culture. Hosted by the Volusia County Cattlemen’s Association, this heritage celebration packs the Cattlemens Arena with adrenaline-pumping rodeo events like bull riding, barrel racing, and calf roping. Little wranglers can jump into the action with a greased pig chase and boot scramble, while everyone can feast on a legendary homemade BBQ lunch included with admission. Celebrate the enduring spirit of local ranching families with live cattle herding demonstrations, vendor booths, and enough down-home fun to make even the toughest cowboy crack a smile.
