Creative Themes and Ideas for a Mechanical Bull Event

October 1, 2024

Having a mechanical bull at an event can be a ton of fun by itself, but the fun only intensifies if you incorporate a theme. Planning a party can be difficult, you can take a lot of the stress off your shoulders by working with a professional. At Buckin’ Wild, we’ve rented our mechanical bulls out for many different events, and have helped with party planning as well. We wanted to take some time today to talk about some different themes and ideas to help you get the most out of your next event.

The Classic Wild West Theme

A real tried and true way of incorporating a mechanical bull naturally into your event is to have a Wild West theme. Bull riding is a tradition largely associated with cowboys and the Wild West. Kids especially love playing dress up as cowboys and cowgirls, and adults will love some horseshoe pits and a small saloon setup. You really can’t go wrong with a Western theme.

A Farm Theme

Farms can be a place for hard work, and long days tending to the animals and crops, but they can also be a place of great fun! A mechanical bull fits perfectly with a farm theme. You can decorate the venue with hay bales and animal cutouts, and your guests can wear straw hats. Set up a bobbing for apples station, and hayrides always prove popular. If you’re thinking of renting a mechanical bull for your next party, consider going with a farm theme.

Develop a Tournament

Mechanical bull riding can be quite competitive. It’s all in good fun, but after a couple of rides, friends are sure to be comparing their times. You can integrate this right into your event by planning a mechanical bull riding tournament. Have a board handy to keep track of how long everyone has managed to stay on the bull and rank the top riders. For extra fun, you can even hand out some trophies or prizes to some of the winners.

Let Riders Pick Their Own Song

A good soundtrack can enhance nearly any experience, but we all have different music tastes. Many people opt to have music playing while riders are on the bull, but you can take this a step further and allow your rider to choose the song they want to ride to. You’ll be surprised by how enthusiastic your guests become when their favorite song is blaring out as they thrash around, grasping desperately to the bull.
