National Day of the Cowboy Celebration

Round up your posse and head to the National Day of the Cowboy celebration. Held at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, this year, the family-friendly celebration will highlight the 150th anniversary of the Chisholm Trail with a variety of fun activities like learning to rope a steer, creating stick-horses and bandana activities.  

National Day of the Cowboy was created in 2005 by the U.S. Senate to recognize and preserve the heritage of the cowboy, cowgirl and vaquero. In 2013, the event received permanent status as the fourth Saturday of each July.
