With a long standing history of rodeos, working cowboys and ranches passed down through the generations, Steamboat and the Yampa Valley stay true to their Western roots even today, with live events, museums, historic buildings tours, the unique old mining town of Hahns Peak, and hot springs that keep alive the legacy of a true ranching community.
In addition to ongoing events like the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Series, Steamboat boasts a number of annual events that hold strong to its western roots.
Every Friday and Saturday night throughout the summer, this professional rodeo series features bull riding, bronc riding, roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, and kids' events. Don't miss the special July Fourth event as part of the Cowboy Round Up Days.
You won't find a more western Fourth of July celebration than Steamboat's Cowboy Roundup Days. In its 118th year, this is a real down-home festival, featuring the Fourth of July parade, the Pioneer Day Block Party, Ski Jumping Extravaganza, live music, and a special Steamboat Pro Rodeo event.
For over 40 years this wild western event has been a staple of Steamboat Springs. Billy Kidd, Director of Skiing, and Larry Mahan, six-time All-Around World Champion cowboy, decided to invite some ProRodeo cowboys up to Steamboat for some fun on the slopes and the event continues to entertain today.
