PBR Draft at Diablo’s: No, we’re not talking beer, although there will be plenty of that, too, as Diablo’s throws a party for the riders in anticipation of the PBR draft.

La Isla Uniforms Bull Rider Autograph Signing: La Isla Uniforms hosts a meet- and-greet for professional bull rider Ryan Dirteater.

PBR Party at PBR Rock Bar & Grill: Given its namesake, PBR Rock Bar & Grill will be the official party spot for the PBR World Finals. PBR Rock Bar will celebrate the event with an over-the-top party Thursday sponsored by Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey that includes the Top 40 riders participating in the World Finals and a performance from country music trio The McClymonts. Fans can watch as the riders take the stage to participate in a draw when they’ll randomly select the bulls they’ll be riding. Throughout the weekend, the restaurant and bar offers 10 percent off dining bills when patrons present ticket stubs.

PBR Drink Special at Tacos & Tequila: Tacos & Tequila salutes PBR fans with a drink special -- T&T will feature $5 bottles of Tecate Lights through Friday.
