I have been attending CFD since I was a little kid, tent camping in the parking lot then moving up to hotel "camping" as an adult. Sadly in 2020, due to covid, Cheyenne was forced to cancel CFD. This was the first time in 124 years that the "Largest Outdoor Rodeo" didn't go on. As a minimum substitute they organized the Big Daddy Rodeos which were small venue shows that were nice fillers, but I miss the day shows, the concerts and the hundreds of vendors. I am SO looking forward to 125th, in 2021! read more

I have been to a lot of concerts and never had as bad of an experience as I had last night at Randy Houser and Cody Johnson. I'm really disappointed at the layout of the concert floor, the lack of coordination and organisation, and honestly the people as a whole were awful. I've seen CoJo in Texas, and that was an amazing show, but CFD failed epically. I will never pay to go to CFD again. Not in any capacity. read more

The rodeo is amazing. The music and atmosphere are fun. Some of organizational issues were frustrating. It was asinine to have to walk 3/4 around the entire outer part of the large venue to go from the only park and ride drop off to party zone 1 gate. Absolutely stupid. I'm sure there's a reason because everyone knows it's completely stupid. But they should rectify that issue. I was also frustrated that I'm entering first the first time in my life and on the first night for the concert, nobody that was working security/entry or even the information booth guy could tell me how to get to gate (portal) 1. I was told to go ask the information booth. Information booth tells me to go ask the entry people at the main gate. That person (different from the first) told me to ask the info booth! But overall the atmosphere of Frontier Days and Frontier nights is fantastic. Sure, crowds, long lines, etc. but nice people, lots to do, good music (system doesn't sound amazing though down on the floor...very loud and distorted) and a completely amazing rodeo experience has me considering taking the two day drive out from northern Minnesota again some day. read more

My daughter who uses a wheelchair for mobility has always looked forward to her CFD days and concerts. This year however seating changed and the VIP section with bar height seating was placed in FRONT of the accessible section leaving people with disabilities without a view of the stage, just a great view of a lot of people seating in front of them. read more

Great excursion!! Parking prices were reasonable, and the buses took you right to all the action. The staff were incredibly friendly. Lots of fun things to see, do, eat, and drink! Family friendly, but also a good place to get a beer and listen to live music. There are rides for kids, rodeos, shows, museums, shopping, and more! Lots of fun! read more

My neighbors would spend most nights in Cheyenne at the concerts. We arrived at Cheyenne Frontier Days early in the morning, parking a little ways away and being taken in by bus. There were photo opportunities (like with different bull riders), carnival rides, dancing, beer gardens, the Indian Village. We also had PRCA rodeo tickets (about $17 each) and unassigned seating in the shade. For the number of hours of entertainment it was a pretty good deal- bareback, saddle bronc, roping, barrel racing, bull riding, steer wrestling. Minus, the bacon wrapped everything (corn, hot dogs), I felt like food options were a little lacking. Ended up with a grilled chicken breast sandwich for $7 and my first time trying fried Oreos (don't judge me). My mom kept comparing it to the New Mexico State Fair, and was saying CFD didn't have as much to offer. There were displays and contests from local businesses, and even a chance to try the bamboozled jelly bean game. By about 2 or 3 o'clock, we had pretty much already seen everything, although it was an enjoyable day overall. I would love to come back just to see Luke Bryan perform read more

Great arena for concerts! I'm from out of state, and this was my first time here. I was surprised at how large the area was, it was a bit confusing to try and figure out where I needed to go, and to my dismay, the employees all seemed like they hated their jobs and like I was just a nuisance when asking for directions. Probably should choose another career path if they can't be customer service oriented! Lady selling lemonade was very friendly and the lady who checked my bag at the entrance for the standing area was very friendly, and even helped me carry my belongings when I was spilling everything trying to empty my drink into a plastic cup. Parking was a nightmare so we ended up paying some guy to leave our truck in his backyard, but I'm glad I was able to make it work and meet my idol! read more

I went to 2 concerts here for Frontier Nights ... within a 4 day period. The first impressions that pop into my head are 1) Excellent security 2) Don't make people wait to enter for their seating ...both nights this happened and the "waiting area" got too clogged and people were drunk and combative 3) Fun 4) Restroom issues. Our first night - 3 drunk people pushed their way into our "zone" and started fighting. Security swooped in within seconds and removed them. #thankyou #boom . I'll keep it short. We were admitted through our entry area, and then "held" in an area before entering to our "party zone". We were held here forever. It piled up. People on horseback were supposed to lead us through, it was a $::t show. I did not feel safe. Yayyy! Always fun. Great entertainment. Thank you! Final comment ... the women's restroom was full of barf and nasty nasty stuff. Women were waiting in line to use the toilets, most of which were inhumane and beyond disgusting. #gross #youcandobetter .... Management needs to address this. Cheyenne Frontier Nights is supposed to be better than this. Enough said. Will I go back? Hell yeah. Do I want to use the restrooms? Hell no. Stay tuned for next year ... I'll be back. Hopefully I won't need to pee! read more

It's VERY overpriced. Concert tickets book fast to the Scalpers and Sponsors. You pay to park your car (average of $15 to $20), pay to get in to the midway (access to the rodeo and concerts), can't bring your own water, and they charge for EVERYTHING. It is like 8 bucks for a soda there. Food? Enjoy that Turkey Leg that costs more than a whole turkey. Funnel Cake? Yeah, you could seriously buy enough ingredients to make a ton of them instead of paying the horrible prices they gouge out of you here. A family of four could easily spend $50 just to walk around. Add in the midway rides etc., and it's easily $100 before you realize it. The park isn't all that is expensive during the week. Hotel prices go up from around $80-100 per night normally to $300 - $500 depending on the place. If it's less than $300, there is definitely something wrong with the place. Also, you have to book in January if you even want to think of staying at a hotel in Cheyenne during that week of July. It's that bad. The good? Pancake breakfasts are free, and fun as are the parades. But that aside, I live local so I just take the week off and hide out until all the drunks go home. read more

Wow. I have been to numerous rodeos in my life, but none are as big and fun to watch as this one. World class stock and riders, every time. So many competitors and several events I have never seen before. The wild horse race was a favorite. Teams of three have to saddle and then ride a wild horse for one lap. So entertaining to watch. This is my new favorite rodeo. read more

OK, I only have two words for you and that is: HOT COWBOYS. hmmm wait - while thats good it just isnt enough. How's HOT COWBOYS RIDING GIANT ANGRY ANIMALS.

I thought the HOT COWBOY thing would be enough (and for me, oh my yes it is! *fans self with paper*) but there is SO MUCH MORE. Like the Behind the Chutes Tour, kettle corn, Native American costume dancing, costumed actors, hand made saddles, root beer on tap, history museum, chuckwagon cookoff, air show, steerbucks coffee, acrobatic horse riders, carnival rides, turquoise jewelry, outdoor concerts, pancake breakfasts and the friendliest, happiest people ever under a giant, gorgeously blue sky? Uh yes please! That plus a second helping, thanks! If it can please this high maintenance, New England raised, english saddle riding Chicago resident, then by god there is something for everyone. There is a reason it's called "the daddy of 'em all"! read more

Frontier days is the one time each year that the otherwise quiet city of Cheyenne gets to shine.The whole city is a bustle with all the tourists that come from all over the world to see the world class rodeo and concerts. The venue where all this action takes place is called Frontier Park, a gigantic outdoor arena which serves as the rodeo during the day and hosts concerts at night, outside the area is a carnival with games, rides, food and souvenir vendors galore plus many many more. Other aspects of frontier days are multiple parades, featuring beauty pageants winners from all over the world, free pancake breakfasts, a gunslinger shootout and a old western frontier village which features native american tribes dancing ritual dances and many other things to see and enjoy. read more

The rodeo and the Indian dancing are really the highlights here. Lots of food options, neat selection of vendors, rodeo was first class. The Indian dancing was informational and very cool. **Definitely get seats on the side of the rodeo with the chutes (pricier option). The behind the scenes views of the Cowboys and the rodeo animals was worth the extra charge.** There's a discount option 4 tickets, four meals, a free poster. Look into it. Largest outdoor rodeo I've ever seen. read more

We came on the last day. Make sure you come early to the indian village to watch the dancing. They are all a family and go to American Indian schools. Very colorful clothing. Also, there are many booths with Indian crafts, gifts etc. After, we went to the rodeo, which they had to stop because of hail and tornado warning. The sky was black. People's windshields were destroyed along with dents in people's vehicles. But, can't control the weather. Under the bleachers they had a bunch of booths with different items. Sadly they didn't really have many "Cheyenne" clothing. They had food booths which closed at 4, which sucked because the rodeo ended about 430/445. read more

We did the park and ride on Weds April 27th in the am. It was the most unorganized process for a few hundred people going in. We waited over an hour. The lady in charge set up 3 lines but only had one line moving for as she didnt look at how long the lines were in the other 2 lines. People would walk up to the line she was moving and get on the bus. The other lady helping her did nothing but hold an umbrella. The process would have worked if she had have one line. read more

We attended the Zac Brown concert here on July 29th this year. Having been a regular attending concerts for many years things seem to be going down hill here in my opinion. It used to be a cool original thing to see where they had chuckwagon races, wild horse races and indian dancers before a concert. Now they took that all away and pushed the main stage into the middle of the arena so they can CRAM hundreds of standing room only folks in and if you are in the grandstands you are more apt to watch things under their new giant screen TV's. The lack of restrooms at Frontier park is unreal. How about adding some as we are not in the 70's any more. Had several unruly folks in the audience that police had to escort out next to us which kind of ruined things. Not enough security and ushers working to keep this better under control. It was an ok experience but sure not like it used to be. read more

I walked into my dorm room freshman year to a poster of a half naked cowboy with the words "Cowboy butts drive me nuts" printed underneath... Not being from an area with cowboys, I was intrigued and decided to go with my friends to Frontier Days. If you've never seen it before - its kinda interesting. Guys riding on bulls and then falling off. But in the end the cowboy stereotype just turned out to be a let down - the Wrangler jeans are way too tight on all the wrong guys and they carry around soda cans to spit their chew into. Not attractive. So if you're looking for an awesome airbrushed plastic cowboy hat, this is the place to go. But don't go for the cowboy butts - its just a let down. But what does my freshman roommate know? She got knocked up by a mechanic the second semester, got kicked out of school for preferring the gameshow network to going to class and drove a Ford Ranger. Que cera. I wonder if she still has that poster up in her trailer. read more

It's one big scam. The concert venue is old, outdated, uncomfortable, and isn't set up for anyone taller that 5'2". The speakers they use sound like they came from the 70's and can't handle what they are trying to do. You spend a large amount of money thinking you are getting good seats to a concert until you get there to stair at a small TV monitor because a pole is in the way. Tickets sell out on day one to be posted hours later at double the price on all the other aftermarket sales websites. The employees steal the money they get for beer sales.... Especially the guys in the air-force in the party zone. (Working all concert nights turned into $20000 in stolen revenue from one person). That's just the air-force volunteers. If you are a larger person do not go. You will not fit in the seat. Seats are smaller than an airplane. Not sure if any locals actually go to this crappy event every year. There is no parking at all. Uber rides are $100 unless you park in someone's front yard for sure. Bring cash so you can bend over and take it up the..... I will forever hate frontier days. I will never go again until they find a way to stop the resale of concert/PBR tickets. Can you please put someone with a brain in charge of this even? Not some fat oaf who only gets out of their house once a year. It's 2023. Get with the times. We aren't in the 70's anymore. It's time to change leadership. It's time to update and upgrade. Know I it down and start over. Cheyenne Wyoming begs you. read more

Cheyenne Frontier Days. An institution in the summer for Wyoming. There is so much going on in Cheyenne when Frontier Days is happening it is enough to make your head spin! There are parades, breakfasts, luncheons, rodeos, night shows and a carnival and probably much more that I don't know about here in this otherwise sleepy town. If you like parades then this one is well put together and very entertaining and seems relatively lengthy too! I think they have it at least twice during the duration of Frontier Days so it is quite a big event. After going to the parade several times though much of the parade concepts become the same so it does not really reinvent itself. In fact I was going through some of my grandmother's pictures and came across pictures of the parade and it looked exactly the same as when I used to go! lol! Such has been my experience in general with parades though. The breakfasts I never went to because I think it was very early in the morning and many people often were there to it and since it was tough for my family to get up that early we never went but my aunt and grandmother liked them. Ditto on the luncheons never went to any. The rodeos were ok but it was often very dusty and windy. In Cheyenne the air is almost never still. Either it is a breeze or a constant gust. This is how it is in South Eastern Wyoming. I never liked the rodeos as much compared to Stock Show because they were never as fancy and it was never something I was into. At the Stock Show in the inside arena they would turn off the lights and the riders would be wearing glow sticks and glowing attire and run around the ring. That was enough to excite a child and the inner raver in me. I mean a raver is not complete without glow sticks! So at Frontier Days it can get very boring because of the lengthy rodeo if you are not into the sport. The night shows come after the rodeo so after a long day of sitting you sit a bit more and that can make little kids very antsy. The acts are usually country bands and sometimes hair metal bands so if you are not into those genres of music you may not want to head bang too much and want to vacate. Finally the carnival is right by where the rodeo arena is and much of the games will rip you off and most of the people know it but are either too drunk to care or get caught up with the atmosphere and throw away their money on something they know they won't win. The rides are fun and there is quite a bit to pick from like fun houses, roller coasters, and rides on donkeys or camels and more of your typical carnival rides. So in a nutshell this is another event that everyone should try once or twice and get your cowboy shoes out with spikes on the bottom of the heel so you don't get blown away across the plains in case a strong wind comes up. read more

Great family fun! Cheyenne frontier days has been a staple in summer fun for the past 119 years. Every year it has gotten bigger and better. People travel from all over the world to come the world's largest outdoor rodeo. The frontier night shows are amazing from the entertainment to the security. I enjoy every part of frontier days. Free pancake breakfast 3 times and 4 parades. What a great vacation spot. Always the ladt full week in July!! Kuddos to the cfd chairman. read more

This is the greatest fair I've ever been to and it's not even a county or state fair! It has all the typical fair components: sales hawkers, fair food, midway, etc. but the focus isn't the 4H livestock judging and auction, it's the country's oldest rodeo. Rodeo, bull riding and top country music acts nightly are the focus of the entire activity. The rodeo activities extend beyond the fairgrounds and encompass the entire city of Cheyenne for the entire frontier days week with multiple parades, free public pancake breakfasts and more. read more

I've lived in Colorado for 40 years and never made it to CFD until Keith Urban drew me in this year. We brought along other "newbies" that can now say "it's not my first rodeo". We had a blast witnessing rodeo events that I think you can only see at CFD, like the wild horse race and the milk run. Between the rodeo & concert start we took the $1 shuttle downtown for cocktails & dinner allowing us to avoid the cloudburst that drenched Frontier park and the infield. We were happy to not have tickets on the dirt party zone as the resulting mud made for a mess and some sorry looking boots. But the people watching was exceptional, mud or not. The show started promptly. The sound was great and the venue almost felt intimate with the two big screens. I read that they recently invested in an improved sound system, so I'm glad I waited years to get here. Note that if you like to dance , you must get tix in one of the party zone areas as the dance police won't allow any of those shenanigans in the seats in the stands. Compensation is having beer stands right in the party zone. We avoided the mud by having purchased on the concrete party zone. Pay attention to the musical line up next year, as they are booking so much more than just country acts. I'll remember to wear my boots, bandana, big belt buckle & cowboy hat next year. This is a real cultural immersion that you should attend at least once. yahoo!!! read more

Ok. I'm from the East Coast. "Frontier" implied to me that I'd see a museum about the actual early pioneer frontier times of the U.S. The migration of people. Frontier Days is apparently an annual rodeo thing. Yawn. Lots of displays about rodeo cowboys I've never heard about and their trophies and whatever... But there's a nice collection of various carriages. Many of them made on the East Coast. :) read more

Always an awesome time at Frontier Days! There's a little bit of something to do for everyone. You can go to a concert that's playing every night, hit up a rodeo during the day, eat some overpriced but very delicious fair food, go on some fair rides, check out the shopping areas, or go to some of the events that are held in town those weeks. It's my highlight of every year. read more

I would highly suggest going to this fair if you have the time. There are tons of carnival rides, shopping exhibits, food stands, and shows. If you buy tickets for the rodeo or for a concert, admission into the whole area is free. Otherwise, it's $3 do enter the area containing all the events. Rodeo: I haven't felt so much pride for my country as I felt during the rodeo on Military Monday. The announcers did an awesome job riling up support for our troops. As a Bostonian who has never ridden a horse, it was interesting to see all the crazy ways people would ride their horses and just how good they were at it. I was also surprised at how difficult riding a bull/ wild horse was. Dancing: They have dancing at the Buckin' A Saloon at ~5 and ~9pm. Don't worry if you don't know the two step, ladies, some cowboy will ask you to dance and whisk you off your feet. Men, you can ask a lady to dance and tell her you're still learning; if they know the dance, they'll be more than happy to teach you. Shopping: Expensive everywhere, but still fun to splurge on a cowboy hat or boots. Food: I bought deep fried oreos and they were absolutely incredible. I made the mistake of eating 4/5 of them and felt pretty sick after, though The red velvet funnel cake was very good, although a tad bit too sweet Chicken fingers were pretty thin from both places we bought them and the fries weren't very salted We bought Nachos from 3 separate places and they were find, nothing special Spiral Spuds nothing special, just looks cool Carnival: Like your yearly neighborhood carnival with a few additional rides. My favorite was the bull riding, but it was a tad bit expensive (~$10). read more

I'm a vendor. I do about 50 shows a year. I have never been to a dirtier venue, outfit, or park. Whatever you want to call it. The bathrooms had used condoms on the floor. The ATM machine had a dirty tampon on it. There was no attendant. So toilet paper, hand towels, and hand soap were always empty. The exhibition hall was also dirty. I swear they must all really live in a barn! The majority of the staff was rude. Definitely would not come back. read more

I have been to quite a few State Fairs and festivals. With the exception of the Wisconsin State fair, this is my favorite. The people of Cheyenne go all out for Frontier Days. We started out by taking a tour of the Rodeo grounds. This turned out to be a blast. I have never been to a real Rodeo before, and you really get an idea of how dangerous a rodeo is when you get up close, and personal with the bulls. Some of these steers are the size of a Buick. The Indian (Native American) village is a portion of the festival that is a must visit. There are small shops where jewelery, and native American clothing are offered and a small arena area where you can see a Native American dance show. All of this is presented wonderfully. Frontier days offers everything from Professional Bull Riding shows to outdoor concerts. There is also a midway where they offer rides and Carnival games. If I had to pick out one thing that wasn't up to par at Frontier Days, it would be the price of the food. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but if I wanted to pay $9.00 for a burger, I would have stayed in Downtown Chicago. Other than that, the festival get's two thumbs up in my book. The bottom line is that Cheyenne does a wonderful job with Frontier Days. From the workers who put this event together, to the thousands of Volunteer's who give their time for this event every year. A big Thank you from this Urban City slicker. I had a wonderful time. read more

I went to Frontier Days this year as I normally do but for some reason the small issues really stuck with me. First thing, lack of convenient parking! Get with the program Wyoming! How about building some parking garages near the park and other festivities? I walked nearly 7 blocks in the dark! That's another thing: Poor street lighting. I know that is not the responsibility of the event organizers but rather that of the City of Cheyenne. Secondly, the street parking itself (since you're forced to park in this setting) is terrible! I've never seen so many driveways in my life! Also, the street painting for "No Parking" is so bad! The city has the yellow curbs extended so far that only about half-dozen cars can fit in one section (if that makes sense). In short: BAD PARKING SITUATION! Now, the fact that the ticket booth/box office doesn't accept anything other than cash is outrageous. While I can understand this I cannot understand why they would not have something posted for your reference. Instead, they make you stand in line (mind you it was 98 degrees while I was there and they provide no cover while in line) and wait to tell you it's cash only when you attempt to buy your admission tickets. Then, they point out the ATM which is nearly 500 feet away with yet another line to stand in. Now, if all this isn't inconvenient enough, once inside the grounds, none of food or drink vendors accept cards, either. They do have multiple ATM's on the grounds, each of which are operated by Bank of the West and charge upwards of $2.00 per transaction. Finally, the restroom situation is next to barbaric, in my opinion. From what I could tell, they had two restroom facilities on the main grounds. TWO! You can imagine the lines and the amount of filth in a situation like this. Be careful what you touch. In short, I still enjoy Frontier Days as it's a Wyoming tradition but it can be incredibly frustrating at times so try and stay calm. You can always relax with $5.00 can of Bud Light once you get your admission ticket and make eat a $10.00 pulled pork sandwich. read more

I haven't been to a concert here for about 5 years and they have sure ruined this. Had to wait 1 1/2 hours to get into the concert. Missed half of it because of the poor method of getting people in. Save your $ and go see your favorite entertainer at a venue who knows how to do it. read more
