Bull riders converged on Prospera Place in Kelowna Wednesday night for the Okanagan PBR Challenge.

Set to begin its fourth season as the nation’s premier professional bull riding series, PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada’s Monster Energy Tour will visit eight provinces in 2019, with the schedule highlighted by the league’s third international Major in Québec.

The Monster Energy Tour features Canada’s bull riders, alongside some of the PBR’s top international athletes, squaring off against the rankest bucking bulls in North America. Fans will witness exhilarating eight-second rides and wrecks throughout the action-packed event as the PBR’s courageous riders face off against their 2,000-pound, animal-athlete opponents.
