Mid-February to early March

The nation's largest livestock show, with more than 35,000 entries, is held in the famous 
Astrodome of Houston, Tex. 

The show is a reminder of the 19th-century days when Houston's shipping trade was 
based on timber, cotton, and cattle. 

Things get under way with a downtown parade, and the agenda then includes top 
celebrity entertainers, pig races, and a chili cookoff.

The 2003 rodeo took place in the new Reliant Stadium, whose construction began in 
2000.
