Wyoming Summer and Autumn Festivals and Events

Overview

Throughout the summer and autumn of 2026, Wyoming maintained a busy schedule of seasonal fairs, rodeos, and community festivals. Following a summer of heat advisories and major events like Cheyenne Frontier Days and the Wyoming State Fair, the festivities transitioned into mid-September with the 90th anniversary of Evanston Cowboy Days and various regional concerts and markets.

In mid-to-late September, the event calendar expanded to include the Fall into Fall Festival in Green River, featuring hayrides and live music, and the Funky Junk outdoor market in Casper. Cultural activities included a nature-inspired poetry walk at Sinks Canyon State Park, the 49th Annual Patrons Ball at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, the Cheyenne Greek Festival, and the Heirlooms and Blooms event at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens. The Monster Truck Insanity Tour also visited the Sweetwater Speedway in Rock Springs.

As the month concluded, the Horse Nations Indian Relay Championship of Champions was scheduled at the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo arena. Other regional activities included an Oktoberfest celebration in Casper, the Wyoming State Champion Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Worland, and author talks hosted by the Park County Library in Cody. Additionally, seasonal changes were noted as fall foliage began appearing in the mountains, particularly along Highway 16, Highway 14, and throughout Yellowstone National Park.
