What Is the National Day of the American Cowboy?

The National Day of the American Cowboy campaign was founded by American Cowboy magazine in 2004 to preserve, protect and promote our cowboy and Western heritage and lobby for the passage of a national resolution designating the fourth Saturday of every July a permanent celebration on the national calendar honoring cowboys and cowgirls for their enduring contribution to the courageous, pioneering spirit of America.

This year, the event is Saturday, July 28th. Join in the spirit of the National Day of the American Cowboy by adding your local event to the map & calendar below!
