About PendletonOne of the West's prominent rodeos, the Pendleton Round-Up began in 1910. Held the second full week in September, the 4-day event includes daily afternoon rodeos and nightly entertainment in the form of the Happy Canyon Night Show and revelry at Goldie's Saloon. The Westward Ho Parade features pack trains, stagecoaches and Native Americans dressed in traditional regalia. A tepee village occupied by tribes from throughout the Pacific Northwest is assembled for the celebration. Across the street from the arena is the Pendleton Round-Up & Happy Canyon Hall of Fame.
In the historic downtown, visitors can get an eye-level view of the glass-enclosed clockworks of the restored 1889 Seth Thomas Clock Tower located outside the courthouse on the corner of Court Avenue and S.E. 4th Street.
A scenic stretch of I-84 begins at Pendleton, intersecting with US 395 before continuing 93 miles southeast to Baker City.
