Lights, Camera… MULES!
We’re excited to share that Ranch America — now in its 4th season on the Outdoor Channel — will be filming right here at Bishop Mule Days this year!
Host River Klass, a rancher and restaurateur from Calaveras County, will be stepping into the arena and competing in Friday’s show aboard one of the legendary Lane Ranch mules — longtime Mule Days supporters since 1970.
Ranch America shines a spotlight on the real stories of ranchers, cowboys, working animals, and the landscapes that define the American West… and now Mule Days gets to be part of that story.
If you’re in the stands Friday, don’t be surprised if you see cameras rolling — you might just be part of the show
See Jerrod Niemann and Carson Chandler Live at Mule Days
Don’t miss the Thursday night Mule Days concert on May 21st featuring Jerrod Niemann, with Carson Chandler opening the show.
Live music, cold drinks, and a high-energy crowd in the Charles Brown Auditorium at the Tri County Fairgrounds. Grab your crew and make a night of it.
Thank You Volunteers!
It’s more than an event… it’s a tradition where a town becomes a team.
At Bishop Mule Days, that team is made up of hundreds of volunteers who bring the magic to life each year. From the arena to behind the scenes, every role helps create something unforgettable.
No experience needed, just a great attitude and a willingness to be part of something bigger than yourself. This is your chance to connect, give back, and be part of a true Bishop tradition.
To everyone who has volunteered in the past and continues to show up year after year, thank you! You are the heart of Mule Days.
