During 2025, NHARL continued to contact Manchester city officials about the cruelty and risks associated with bull riding. Nevertheless, the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Tour is returning to the SNHU Arena for two shows in December.
The PBR has also added Boston to the tour. That’s right — one of the nation’s most progressive urban centers is now seen as a profitable market for a bunch of pretend cowboys to bully, stress, and dominate bulls for entertainment.
Protest Details
Please join us outside the SNHU Arena (555 Elm Street, Manchester) for one or both peaceful protests against bull riding. Meet on the sidewalk near the arena’s front entrance on the corner of Elm St. and Lake Ave.
- Friday, Dec. 12, 2025 — 6:30 – 8:00 pm (event starts at 7:45)
- Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025 — 6:30 – 8:00 pm (event starts at 7:45)
Signs will be provided.
Parking: Spots on the street are hard to find on event nights, but since we start early you may find one. The closest garage is the Center of NH Garage (65 Granite Street, Manchester). Business lots also offer event parking, but this is an expensive option. See SNHU Directions & Parking for more detail.
Press from Last Year’s protest
After failing to interest Manchester city officials in addressing the cruelty and risks associated with bull riding, NHARL staged a bold protest against the PBR.
