 | Cheyenne Frontier Days, held annually since 1897, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, USA, claims to be the largest outdoor rodeo (see photo - "Champion" Lane Frost 8 sec) and western celebration in the world. The event, which always occurs during 10 days of 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. |
| This event features nightly concerts by famous nationally or internationally popular music and comedy acts, a midway, a fair with rides, games, and food vendors, wild west shows, an Indian village, and a large PRCA/PBR nationally sanctioned rodeo. A common moniker for the event is 'The Daddy of 'em All' lending to the history and the fact that the rodeo is billed as the largest event in the world. The majority of the events are centered around the property of Frontier Park, but some of the events such as the pancake breakfast are held in a different part of the city. This event will be held July 18-28, 2008, which will be its 112th celebration. An air show featuring the United States Air Force Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron takes place every year on the Wednesday located in the middle of the 10 days of the event. The Thunderbirds share history with Cheyenne Frontier Days as they made their public debut at the 1953 Cheyenne Frontier Days event. Cheyenne Frontier Days received the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) Large Outdoor Rodeo of the Year award for the ninth time on 12/6/2007.
