Celebrate Old West heritage at one of the world’s most acclaimed cowboy events. Three days of jam-packed activities and entertainment are featured at the annual Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering & Western Swing Festival, and you won’t want to miss a second of it.

When we say jam-packed, it’s no exaggeration. The event features a chuck wagon cook-off, team roping, poetry readings and western swing dancing. But that’s not all.

Along with roping, the rodeo is one of the most exciting parts of the event, with ranches from all over competing for victory. Music is another big part of the festivities and there’s a long list of performers, including Red Steagall, Mikki Daniel, Don Edwards, Bobby Flores and many others.

In addition, there are wagon train and trail rides, a huge trade show, and youth events including a fiddle contest and youth chuck wagon competition. A full schedule can be found here as well as information about tickets, nearby lodging, directions and more.

The Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering & Western Swing Festival takes place from Oct. 28-30, 2016, in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. Get out your cowboy hat, get your tickets and get ready to immerse yourself in cowboy culture.
