The 2026 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is thanking the community with a gift for visitors on the event's last day, Saturday, February 7: Free admission.

“We're celebrating the warm temperatures and sunny skies by letting everyone on the grounds for free on Saturday,” said Stock Show President and General Manager Matt Carter in a statement. “So come out to enjoy the final day of what’s been nothing short of an amazing 2026 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo.”

There have been other discounts throughout the FWSSR's run, but this is the biggest of them all.

Guests will be able to enjoy the carnival midway, shopping, the Mattress Firm Petting Zoo, Children’s Barnyard, rabbit show, horse shows, and more for free.

Then there are the music acts: Austin-based Blue Water Highway will headline in the Michelob Ultra Roadhouse, and Will Bannister will play The Corkyard - also free to attend.

The freebies, however, do not extend to Saturday's rodeo at Dickies Arena. Still gotta buy tickets to see the bullriders. The PRORODEO Tournament’s championship finals take place on Saturday. Eight finalists in each event will make one last ride to be the 2026 FWSSR champion.

Want to make a night of it? Head to dinner first at a local restaurant with a rodeo special, then end the evening with a post-rodeo nightcap at one of these local bars.

FWSSR parking also isn't free. It's $20 per vehicle in lots and garages; for tips on parking, rideshare, and public transportation options, go here.

The Stock Show grounds are open from 8 am-10:30 pm daily.

The Eagles will play at Globe Life Field in Arlington on May 16.

Rock band the Eagles are making good on the title of their extended farewell tour, The Long Goodbye, with three more stadium dates in 2026, including one at Globe Life Field in Arlington on Saturday, May 16.

One of the bestselling bands of all time, the Eagles started The Long Goodbye tour in 2023, and they've already made two other stops in Texas: Austin and Houston, both in 2024.

This very limited addition will have them play in Atlanta on May 5 and Nashville on May 9, before landing in Arlington on May 16.

Additionally, they have multiple dates scheduled at The Sphere in Las Vegas in February, March, and April.

The Eagles are celebrating their 55th anniversary as a band, having formed in 1971 in Los Angeles.

Lead singer Don Henley is the only original band member remaining, although longtime members Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit still serve as lead guitarist and bass guitarist, respectively.

The band now features the late Glenn Frey's son, Deacon, as well as country music icon Vince Gill.

The Eagles released six studio albums in the 1970s, along with Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975), which is the best-selling album of all time, having sold over 40 million copies through the years.

The band only released one studio album outside of the 1970s, Long Road Out of Eden in 2007.

To participate in the Eagles Artist Presale on Tuesday, March 3 at 10 am, fans must sign up at eagles.com by Monday, March 2 at 10 am ET. No codes are needed – access is tied to individual Ticketmaster accounts, and anyone who signs up can join the sale.

Additional presale opportunities begin on Thursday, March 5 at 10 am ahead of the general on-sale date of Friday, March 6.
