Kick Off May in Gulf County Saddle Up For the Rodeo This Weekend! May in Gulf County brings a little bit of everything: warm days, local traditions, and weekends that feel easy but full. It’s the time of year when the calendar starts to fill up, and the best way to kick it off is with something classic. The Gulf County Rodeo returns to Wewahitchka on May 2nd, bringing bulls, broncs, barrel racing, and plenty of small-town energy.

It’s a tradition that feels as real as it gets and one you don’t want to miss.
