Cheyenne Frontier Days: A look inside 'The Daddy of 'em All'

Cheyenne, Wyoming — Since 1897, one of the world’s largest outdoor rodeos and Western celebrations, Frontier Days has welcomed cowboys and cowgirls alike. The inaugural event draws top rodeo professionals who compete for more than $1 million in cash and prizes.

It features a Native American Village, old frontier town, a saloon, dancing, a chuck wagon cook-off, pancake breakfasts, bulls, broncos, barbecue and an art show.

Rounding out the program are a carnival midway and performances this year by Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett, Jelly Roll and Machine Gun Kelly. 

Cheyenne Frontier Days takes place each summer during the last full week in July.
