The event has been held every July since 1897, except for 2020, so that Cheyenne can celebrate its Old West roots.
Frontier Days carried on through both World Wars and the Great Depression, when tough finances prompted it to become a mostly volunteer-run festival of rodeo, music concerts, parades and other events. In addition to the world-class Frontier Nights entertainment acts, the event offers the world's largest outdoor rodeo – which draws the top pros who compete for more than $1 million in prize money. A Frontier Days belt buckle is among the most coveted prizes in rodeo.

S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration squadron will once again be the headline act of the Wings Over Warren airshow in Cheyenne in 2024, a year after its performance and the show were canceled. The Thunderbirds' 2024 schedule includes a return to their traditional July performance in Cheyenne.
The Wyoming airshow, which typically takes place during Cheyenne Frontier Days, is scheduled for Wednesday, July 24. "We are excited to see Cheyenne, Wyoming, and F.E.
Warren Air Force Base on the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird’s schedule for 2024," said a statement from the 90th Missile Wing to 9NEWS.
The 2023 Wings Over Warren airshow was canceled in 2023 after the Thunderbirds canceled their appearance. The Thunderbirds determined in 2023 that performing in Cheyenne carried "too much risk with lack of an approved emergency landing airfield nearby," said F.E.
Warren Air Force Base . Construction at Cheyenne's airport closed its runways for several years, but the airport is now back open. "We know the community greatly missed the air show this past summer.
Now that our local airport is repaired and reopened, we are looking forward to a wonderful 'Wings over Warren' performance!" said the 90th Missile Wing. In 2021 and 2022, the Thunderbirds flew their Wyoming performance out of Northern Colorado Regional Airport in Loveland. In 2022, one of the Thunderbird’s F-16 aircraft conducted an emergency landing in Fort Collins due to a hydraulic leak, spilling fluids across the runway after it landed.
The 90th Missile Wing said this forced the rest of the team to divert across Denver International Airport airspace and land at Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, which has the closest necessary safety equipment for F-16 emergency landings.
