Cheyenne Frontier Days is an annual event that’s been held in Cheyenne, Wyoming since 1897, and claims to be the largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration in the world.
The event, which occurs during 10 days centered around the last full week in July, draws an estimated 300,000 people to the area every year. Lodging fills up quickly during the peak tourist season throughout southern and eastern Wyoming and even into Colorado and Nebraska.
The 114th celebration of the Cheyenne Frontier Days event will take place July 20th to August 1st, and will feature performances by Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson and others.
Besides nightly concerts by popular music and comedy acts the event also features a midway, a fair with rides, games and food vendors, wild west shows featuring Western riding, an Indian village, and a large PRCA/PBR nationally sanctioned rodeo. A common moniker for the event is ‘The Daddy of ‘em All’, based on its long history and the fact that the rodeo is billed as the largest such event in the world.
Since this event is so popular you may want to plan while ahead of time, especially if you’ll be needing accommodations in Cheyenne.
