What Is WYO Rodeo — Sheridan's Homecoming Week
Founded in 1931, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo is one of the top PRCA rodeo events in America. More than 50 events run throughout the week — from the Boot Kick-Off and downtown pancake breakfast, to polo at the Big Horn Equestrian Center and the WYO Rodeo Parade down Main Street on July 11.
For a week every July, Sheridan transforms. Hotels sell out in March. Vacation rentals within walking distance of downtown — particularly those near the parade route on Main Street — are the accommodation of choice for families and groups who want space, a kitchen, and a genuinely Sheridan experience rather than a motel on the frontage road.

Practical Tips — WYO Rodeo Week in Sheridan Wyoming
- Book 3-6 months ahead. WYO Rodeo week is Sheridan's highest-demand period. By April, the best vacation rentals are spoken for.
- Claim your parade spot the night before. Locals drop chairs along Main Street the evening of July 10 for the July 11 parade. If you wait until morning, you're watching from the back.
- Arrive early for the pancake breakfast. The downtown pancake breakfast is a Sheridan tradition — lines build fast. Get there by 7 am.
- The Mint Bar hits capacity by 6 pm every night of rodeo week. If you want to experience Sheridan's most iconic bar during its most iconic week, go early or plan to wait.
- Buy rodeo tickets early. Tickets go on sale at the WYO Theater Mars Lobby (June 3 – July 3) and online. PRCA Night 4 (July 12) sells out first.
