Cheyenne Frontier Days? originated in 1897 after a few individuals
conceived a signature event as a way to revive the thrilling incidents
and pictures of life in the Old West. Their vision included a
celebration that would bring visitors from all over the world to the
capital city of Wyoming. From its beginnings, Cheyenne residents valued
a rural lifestyle that inspired them to create a frontier festival. For
more than a century, Cheyenne Frontier Days? has been the spirit, heart,
and soul of the community and the cowboy way of life. Today, it has
evolved into the world's largest outdoor rodeo and celebration of its
kind.
