Over the course of the ten days of Cheyenne Frontier Days, an average of 300,000 people come through the city. Not all at once, of course. Most people come for three or four days to see certain concert performers and catch a couple of rodeos. But in the aggregate, it’s 300,000 people in the city – all wanting to know where to park, when to catch the events, some good restaurants in town, and what else to do and see in the city while they’re here.
The CFD committee and the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, as well as a few other organizations, do their best to have plenty of media resources out there for visitors.
Cheyenne Frontier Days Media Resources
The most important resource for pre-planning a trip to Cheyenne for CFD is the official Cheyenne Frontier Days website, which publishes schedules for each day of the event, and has a PDF version of their brochure/schedule which can be downloaded.
The online PDF of their brochure/schedule gives briefings on each of the events at CFD – hours for the Carnival Midway, the Buckin’ A Saloon, the Garden, and so on.
Each year’s schedule will typically be uploaded a few months before the beginning of Frontier Days.
The cover of the 2017 brochure looked like this:
and here’s an interior page.
The schedule/brochure PDF on the site is the same one that is available at many locations around the city in print form. as well as at the Cheyenne Frontier Days headquarters at Frontier Park.
It’s essential to go through the schedule thoroughly to make your plans for events you want to see.
Fort D.A. Russell Days
For example, the schedule for , held at Warren Air Force Base, is not integrated into the brochure’s Frontier Days calendar, but rather placed at the back in a separate section called “Military Events.” So you need to compare the two schedules so you don’t miss something at Fort D.A. Russell Days that you’d like to see. (More on that in our Guide to Fort D.A. Russell Days.)
Another resource available around the city (for example in the entryways of grocery stores, as well as at the Welcome Center on I-25!) is published by Traders’, and is the “Guide to Cheyenne Frontier Days” for that particular year.
It features a schedule of events as well as a maps of the city and maps of the Frontier Park venue.
For the 2017 edition, the magazine had articles such as:
- “Parades reflect the spirit of the Frontier”
- Cheyenne Frontier Days Volunteers Make it Happen
- “The Garden” at Frontier Park
- “Little Sun Drum and dance Group” Providing American Indian Entertainment
- The Historic Governor’s Mansion
- Transportation for CFD Visitors

The city’s paper, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, provides full coverage of Cheyenne Frontier Days starting with the Sunday Cattle Drive. Each day, the first section of the paper, called Frontier Daily. provides articles and news about CFD, while in the sports section, rodeo results are given. There’s also a free poster (a full newspaper page large, printed on newsprint paper) included.
All this media is essential for a thorough enjoyment of Cheyenne Frontier Days.
Wyoming in Motion’s Cheyenne Frontier Days Unofficial Guide is yet another resource.
We cover things that only someone who lives in Cheyenne and knows the city well can provide to the visitor from out of city/out-of-state.
For example, all the media gives the location of the CFD Park and Ride as “at I-25 and Happy Jack Road.”
That isn’t actually true. That makes people think that if they take I-25 to Happy Jack Road, the Park and Ride will be right there! But actually, what you need to do is get in the left lane as you take exit 10-D for Happy Jack, and follow the exit ramp down and around to your left – and there you will see the flags and sign identifying the Park and Ride.
(By the way, before you turn into the Park and Ride, you can stop in at the lay-by just opposite it to see and read a Historic Marker for Camp Carlin.)
When visitors come to Cheyenne Frontier Days they want to have a great time and experience Western hospitality. Thanks to all the information the CFD committee and other Cheyenne businesses provide, as well as Wyoming in Motion’s Unofficial Guide, planning a great visit in which nothing is missed, is possible.
