Thank you for your interest in becoming a commercial exhibitor at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™.
We accept applications for new exhibitors between May 15 and Aug. 15 each year for the following year’s event. All applications are reviewed and evaluated on their own merit, not on a first-come, first-served basis. Please review the commercial exhibits program information sheet and Commercial Exhibitor Handbook prior to submitting an application. Both contain important information about the program and rules.
Only licensed and approved commercial exhibitors may sell any type of merchandise on NRG Park grounds during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Invitations to participate as a commercial exhibitor are issued on an annual basis. Exhibitors who receive an invitation to participate must complete the annual lease agreement and return it by the due date. Only complete lease agreements will be accepted. The deposit must accompany the lease agreement, and the balance must be paid in full by the date specified in the contract; extensions to pay the lease fees will not be granted.
All vendors/Exhibitors at HLSR are required to:
1. Execute an online lease agreement.
2. Complete or update all contact information.
3. Provide accurate and complete product information.
No sales may take place on NRG Park grounds without a contract and lease agreement through the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
