2019 Cattlemen's Days July 5th - July 14th

It’s been 119 years since the Gunnison Valley started celebrating its western way of life. Each July, the ranching culture struts its stuff in the “Granddaddy of Colorado Rodeos,” an event staged by the community for PRCA competitors and the people who love to watch them.

During the 2019 celebration, Cattlemen’s Days promises the same kind of boot-stomping entertainment that Gunnison pioneers enjoyed – but on a grander scale. Bull riding, barrel racing and the best cowboys and cowgirls – hold onto your hat for the Valley’s finest tradition! The dates for 2019 are scheduled for July 5th – 14th. Rodeos are the 11th, 12th, and 13th.  There is something for everyone at the 2019 Cattlemen’s Days!
