Are you ready to experience the Wild West? If so, then Cheyenne Frontier Days is the event for you! This 10-day celebration of all things Western is held at the end of July in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It’s one of the oldest and largest rodeos in the world, and attracts over 500,000 visitors each year.

CFD is more than just a rodeo. It’s also a festival of Western culture, with everything from traditional Native American dances to cowboy poetry contests

Can you imagine being surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of the Wild West? Can you hear the crack of the whip, the hooves of the horses, and the cheers of the crowd? If you’re looking for an authentic Western experience, then Cheyenne Frontier Days is the place for you. There’s something for everyone at Cheyenne Frontier Days, so what are you waiting for? Start planning your trip today!

If you are planning on attending CFD, here are my takeaways to help you make the most of your experience:

1. Bring cash for the bars. While you can use cards to shop at the vendors, you will need cash for the bars. There are ATMs located near the entrance, but it is always better to be prepared.
2. Arrive early or take the shuttle. The streets around the CFD grounds are transitioned into one-way, so it can be difficult to find parking if you arrive late. If you don’t want to deal with parking, you can take the complimentary shuttle service from the park and ride.
3. Walk around and experience the shopping and the general vibe of the CFD grounds. There are over 200 vendors selling everything from Western wear to souvenirs. Take some time to walk around and experience the atmosphere.
4. Listen for the cannon shot. The rodeo starts off with a cannon shot every day. It’s a great way to get everyone excited for the show.
5. Buy your rodeo and concert tickets separately. Your rodeo ticket does not cover the concert ticket. The rodeo is from 1-4pm, and the concerts start at 8pm. If you leave early from the concert, getting out of the parking lot is a breeze.
6. Drink plenty of water. It can be hot in Cheyenne in July, especially at the high altitude. Make sure you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

I hope these 5 takeaways help you make the most of your experience at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Have fun!

Additional tips:

• If you are camping, be sure to arrive early to get a good spot. The campgrounds fill up quickly.
• If you are bringing children, there are plenty of activities for them to enjoy, such as the petting zoo, the pony rides, and the mechanical bull.
• Be sure to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. The sun can be very strong in July.
• If you are planning on attending the rodeo, be sure to dress appropriately. It is a good idea to dress comfortably. The nights in Cheyenne can be a bit cool than the temps during the day.
• Have fun and enjoy the Wild West!

I hope this blog post has given you some helpful tips for planning your trip to Cheyenne Frontier Days. With a little planning, you can make sure you have a great time at this amazing event.

Here are a few final thoughts to keep in mind:

• Be prepared for anything. The weather can be unpredictable in July, so it’s a good idea to pack for all types of conditions. Don’t overpack, just put a light jacket in your suitcase when a storm blows in or when the sun goes down. The temps can dip into the 60’s at night.
• Relax and have fun. Cheyenne Frontier Days is a great opportunity to experience the Wild West and have some fun. So relax, enjoy the show, and make some memories that will last a lifetime.
