Join us for the 115th Annual Pioneer Picnic & Rodeo!

The 114th annual Alder Creek Pioneer Picnic and Rodeo will be held

June 12, 13, and 14, 2026 at the Cleveland Park in Cleveland, 4 miles West of Bickleton.

Events and activities include RV dry camping ($30 for weekend), carousel rides, Saturday night dance, good food and a NPRA rodeo on Saturday and Sunday.

Get involved yourself and go for a ride on the carousel! It is a 1905 Herschell-Spillman and is said to be one of only three of its type still working. It was purchased from Portland's Oaks Park in 1929 and brought to Bickleton. All of the horses are stored at the museum during the year and are only brought out for this one weekend. Age doesn't matter to ride this classic! From newborns to great, great grandparents; anyone can ride!
