The Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup, the world's largest rattlesnake roundup, occurs every second weekend in March. Run by the Sweetwater Jaycees, the Roundup was begun in order to reduce the large population of Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes. Along with multiple snake pits with safety presentations, visitors can see milking demonstrations and snake-skinning. Visitors to the Roundup may also go on snake hunting expeditions, browse the wide array of Flea Market booths, or visit the carnival. The Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup draws thousands of visitors every year. The cost is $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for children.
