The Northern International Livestock Exposition (called NILE for short) is scheduled this year at the MetraPark in Billings. Gate admission is free to the public. The NILE Rodeo is one of the first opportunities for professional cowboys to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. In addition, is the NILE Ranch Rodeo Finals featuring all the top ranch teams from the region.
The NILE includes the Western Expo that is full of cowboy collectibles, clothing, western art and farm/ranch equipment.
