Cheyenne Frontier Days

Since 1897, the Daddy of ‘em All has been kicking up dust with the world’s largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration. Cheyenne Frontier Days draws top professional rodeo cowboys and cowgirls who compete for more than $1 million in cash and prizes. Complementing the daily rodeo action are behind-the-chutes tours, trick riding and a wild-horse race. A Native American Village, an old frontier town, a saloon, dancing, a chuck wagon cook-off, pancake breakfasts and an art show carry through the frontier theme. Rounding out the program are a carnival midway, an air show, top-name entertainment, professional bull riding shows and several parades that include antique carriages and automobiles. Cheyenne Frontier Days takes place each summer during the last full week in July.
