Cody Wyoming has been named the “Rodeo Capital of the World.” The Cody Nite Rodeo, the longest running successful professional rodeo, continues the annual Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede that occurs annually on July 1 through 4, which is one of the Million Dollar Gold Tour Series’ nine stops that has the top participants competing. The Stampede commemorates Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show as well as its rodeos, bullriding, parades, dances, gambling, and celebrations that began there over 100 years ago.
They come to the Stampede and the Cody Nite Rodeo to compete and show what the “Wild West” was like to travelers throughout the summer. Famous participants and top bucking stock in many rodeos come from the Cody Rodeo. Cody’s World Champions include Chris LeDoux, Jim Houston, Tom Ferguson,, Dan Mortensen, and Deb Greenough. Pro Rodeo Hall of Famers include Mel Stonehouse, Bill Smith, Nick Knight, Floyd Stillings, Cecil McMillian, John Kirkpatrick, Arthur Holman, and Normal Price.
You can purchase tickets at the gate or, if you desire to buy in advance, at the Cody Chamber of Commerce, local Cody businesses, and at the ticket wagon in City Park. It is $20 for adults, $10 for children ages 7 through 12, and ages 6 and under are free.
