COW GIRLS AT BOSTON GARDEN FOR THE RODEO, 1931. Leslie Jones Collection, BPL Print Department. 

The rodeo was also a popular attraction at the Garden from the venue’s early days, bringing its performers—and a bit of the Wild West—to Boston. 

The Garden hosted hundreds of other non-sporting events as well, including the popular annual Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, rodeos, concerts, performances, and some of Boston's most important political rallies and events.
