Fourth of July Events in Cody, Wyoming 2025
The Fourth of July in Cody, Wyoming, is one of the best places in the country to celebrate. It’s a full five days with the Cody Stampede PRCA Rodeo with top stock and competitors, multiple parades, and the music for nightlife, which takes it up a notch. There’s no better place to be than Cody on the Fourth of July.
This year, the theme for the parade is “Our Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys,” with the Outriders exemplifying this as the Grand Marshall. The theme of the Kiddie’s Parade is “Mammas, Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.” Expect a lot of Western entries in the parades this year!
When you watch the parades, look for people selling raffle tickets that support the Fireworks show and purchase generously. There are some great prizes!
Cody knows how to throw a party, and this one looks like a great one. The amount of work and coordination that goes into these events is astounding. Many thanks to all who make the Fourth of July in Cody so special!
The fourth is quickly approaching, and it’s time to get a rundown of Fourth of July events together for you including all the music events that we’ve found. If there’s a special event we’ve missed, let us know! Be sure to see ALL EVENTS online on the calendar page.
