Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo
The Fort Collins International Center (FCIC) is pleased to announce its 17th annual trip to the “Daddy of ’em all” rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Frontier Days is the largest outdoor rodeo in the world.
The rodeo consists of bull riding, steer wrestling, wild horse racing, bucking broncos riding, roping as well as other events. Frontier park consists of a fairground, an electric bull to ride (extra fee for this event), American west craft stalls as well as cowboy hats and belt stalls to name a few.
After the rodeo, look around the park or the museum before heading over to the Indian Village where they perform a series of their dances in full costume and explain the dances and their meaning…on the last dance you are allowed to join in!
