Cheyenne Frontier Days Cancels for the First Time

According to the Cheyenne Frontier Days, In the interest of public health and safety, the 2020 Cheyenne Frontier Days has been canceled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Ticket sales have been suspended. The refund policy has been updated, giving patrons choices to either roll over their tickets for 2021, donate the amount, or receive a refund.

The cancellation marks the first time in the rodeo’s history. The organization will celebrate its 125 year anniversary next year (2021).

“Large events and sports leagues across North America have been forced to cancel because of bans on mass gatherings related to COVID-19,” the Frontier Days said in a statement. “We explored every option but we could not determine how or when we could responsibly promise our fans a 2020 show that would deliver the type of award-winning performances and world-famous Western hospitality they expect from us.”

The Frontier Days is now focusing on the 125th Daddy of ’em All in 2021.

Organizers made the decision to cancel the entire event, rather than postponing or canceling portions (or shows). “Since we could not deliver all of the events and everything that makes Cheyenne Frontier Days so special for our fans at Frontier Park and throughout our community this year, we decided to cancel the entire celebration,” they said on their website. “In the end, we really had no choice. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our fans, volunteers, contestants, first responders, healthcare workers, our community, and visitors.”

Here are the options currently posted on the Frontier Days website:

The Thomas Rhett, Eric Church and Blake Shelton shows have been rescheduled as part of the 2021 lineup; and tickets will be reissued when 2021 tickets go on sale, unless otherwise specified via the application.
