Cheyenne Frontier Days

Cheyenne Frontier Days is an outdoor rodeo and western celebration held annually since 1897 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States. The event, claimed to be one of the largest of its kind in the world, draws nearly 200,000 people every year. Lodging fills up quickly during the peak tourist season throughout southern and eastern Wyoming and even into Colorado and Nebraska. The celebration is held during the ten days centered about the last full week of July. In 2008, Cheyenne Frontier Days was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame.

Prior to the annual kickoff of CFD on a Friday, the annual walking of the steers is held on the preceding Sunday morning. This event, which attracts considerable attention, is based on the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. In 2013, 447 steers walked a three-mile course in unison from Hynds Boulevard into Frontier Park to await the forthcoming events.

The CFD features nightly concerts by popular music and comedy acts, 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.Since 2012, Championship Bull Riding has been holding its finals here during a two-night event, entitled, the Road to Cheyenne." 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.
