Event Information

Eastern Diamondback rattlesnakes have been rattling since the dawn of time, but they have been a main attraction in Opp, Alabama for over 60 years. Mr. J.P. Jones was the mastermind behind this small-town, community event. He, along with the Opp Jaycees, first organized this event as a fun-filled, family friendly weekend with snake shows, arts and crafts, and good food.

After several years, the rodeo has grown to include other activities such as beauty pageants, the Rattlin’ 100 car race held at the South Alabama Speedway, snake races, buck-dancing contests, children’s activities, musical entertainment throughout the day and the most popular, concerts featuring some of Nashville’s best Country Music Artists and Bands, as well as local groups.  With all the activities scheduled throughout each day, we are certain The Rattlesnake Rodeo has something for everyone.
