Welcome Bishop Mule Days friends and family!
I would like to personally welcome each of you to the 2026 Bishop Mule Days. Whether you are a competitor or spectator, vendor or sponsor, volunteer or member of our management and administrative team – and especially a valued member of our local community-please know that you play an essential role in the continued success of the World’s Largest Mule Show.
2026 promises to be an extraordinary year as we proudly celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great nation. This year’s theme, “250 Years of Long Ears – Celebrating Mules & America,” honors not only the remarkable legacy of the American mule, but also the enduring spirit, strength, and resilience of our country.
At Mule Days, we take great pride in recognizing and thanking those who have safeguarded our nation, our citizens, and our way of life over the past 250 years. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful to all who have placed service above self and have stood in harm’s way for the betterment of others. One of the qualities that makes our nation truly great is the heart of the volunteer- the spirit of those who put country and community before themselves. We are profoundly thankful, and we pray that God watches over you and keeps each of you safe.
Our Mule Days team has assembled an exceptional lineup for you to enjoy. From exciting competitions featuring top-notch exhibitors and professional acts to outstanding entertainment, food, and shopping, there is truly something for everyone. Whether you are young or young at heart, visiting for a day or joining us for the entire week, we are honored to welcome you.
You may come for the competition, the shows, or the entertainment- butwe hope you return year after year for the friendships, the camaraderie, and the strong sense of community found here in our beautiful town of Bishop, California, the Mule Capital of the World. Within our mule community, these talented, hardworking, four-legged, long-eared companions have a special way of finding their place in the hearts of nearly everyone they meet.
We are grateful you are here and look forward to sharing a truly memorable 2026 Bishop Mule Days with you.
I look forward to seeing you at Mule Days, May 19-24, 2026.
Greg Allen
President, 2026 Mule Days
