Rodeo in Wyoming

“The Cowboy State.” Yup. It sure is. Not only is Wyoming’s history and culture cowboy history and culture, but the very skills, values and strengths of the cowboy are still celebrated throughout Wyoming. Rodeo is America's original sport, and there is a rodeo nearly every day and night somewhere in Wyoming from June to Labor Day.

Two of the most important rodeos are Cheyenne’s Frontier Days and Cody’s Nite Rodeo. Cheyenne Frontier Days, the world's largest outdoor rodeo, is a nine-day celebration of the West, held the last full week in July in the Wyoming capitol city. Cody has featured the Cody Nite Rodeo for over 75 years. This PRCA-sanctioned rodeo occurs nightly from June through August. Professional rodeo cowboys and tough livestock make for exhilarating performances that are tailored to meet the needs of Cody’s visitors.
