The July 4th Teague Rodeo is one of the largest and longest running amateur rodeos in the state of Texas. The first Teague Rodeo was actually produced by members of the American Legion in the early 1930's as a means to raise money for the American Legion. The Teague Rodeo Association was formed later and has produced the event every year on the weekend on or before the Fourth of July. Members and their families put in long hours over the course of the three day event so that rodeo fans can see contestants show off their skills. Members can often be found at the arena well after midnight every night after the main performance to assist contestants in the slack portion of the rodeo. While past events included bull dogging and mule and donkey races, the one event that attracts the largest audience now is the Wild Cow Milking event. Area cowboys come year after year in an attempt to win the buckles given to the top two man team.

An event such as the Teague Rodeo could not be put on without the hard work and leadership of the members and officers of the Teague Rodeo Association and the contract personnel who help produce the three performances each year. Many members participated in the rodeo as youth and have been a part of the Teague Rodeo Association most of their adult lives. Today, many Teague youth participate in the same events that their parents and even their grandparents participated in when they were younger.
