Colima Mariachi
Mariachi Colima de Javier Rodriguez performed at the 2025 Heart O Texas Fair and the Charro Jerry Diaz Mexican Rodeo. What a spectacular show.

Great time at the Waco Fair/Rodeo! Always a fun cowboy/fair time...

Went to a graduation at the out building. Nice facility and plenty of parking if you don't mind walking. Limited disabled parking. The event hall was big enough for hundreds of grads. The climate control was good and it was comfortable in there. Can't say much for the seating. The usual hard wood folders packed tight that makes your butt go numb after an hour. The husky guy next to me was half in my seat, but overall, was a nice place for a graduation.

I attended a graduation ceremony at the Extraco Events Center in Waco, and overall it was a great experience. The venue is spacious and worked well for a large gathering. The sound and lighting were excellent, and the temperature inside was comfortable—not too hot and not too cold. The bathrooms were also clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated. My only wish is that the center offered some sort of stadium seating or bleachers, as it would have made it easier for everyone to see the stage. Otherwise, it’s a very good venue for big events.

Came here for the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo. Brought 4 German Tourists and Wow they loved every minute of this. Absolutely worth every penny. Only wished I knew my Rodeo tickets get you thru the Gates for the Fair, that would have saved us $50? My only complaint. Every aspect of the Rodeo was exciting and the breaks between events was entertaining with light shows and music. This place rocks! Good job Extraco Events Center Staff also for helping German foreigners find their seats. Good staff. Highly recommend this event. Come here people!
