HOUSTON—After three years of partnership, First Community Credit Union said it is extending its sponsorship of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Carnival.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Carnival spans more than 24 acres of “all-encompassing, action-packed fun,” the $2.97-billion First Community CU said. “Guests can enjoy thrilling rides, classic carnival games, delicious food, exciting prizes, and a 360-degree view of the event.”
In 2025, the credit union reported that more than 2.8 million rides were taken at the Carnival, with fan-favorite foods including turkey legs, jumbo corn dogs, deep-fried Oreos and more.
Carnival admission is included with the purchase of a grounds ticket or a rodeo/concert ticket. Grounds ticket sales end at 9 p.m. each day. In addition to the Carnival, grounds tickets allow visitors access to NRG Arena and NRG Center.
‘Shared Passion’
“First Community is proud to continue our partnership with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as the official sponsor of the Rodeo Carnival,” FCCU CEO TJ Tijerina said in a statement. “Our shared passion for the Houston community and education makes this partnership truly meaningful. Each year, the Rodeo’s impact grows, enriching lives and creating lasting memories for families. The carnival is where those memories are made, and we are honored to support that experience while continuing to give back to the community.”
