What is National Day of the Cowboy?

National Day of the Cowboy is celebrated on the fourth Saturday of July in the United States, honoring the enduring legacy of the American cowboy. Cowboys played a central role in the development of the American West, herding cattle across vast open ranges and shaping the culture of frontier life. Today the day is marked by rodeos, western festivals, and celebrations of cowboy culture including music, art, and horsemanship. The cowboy spirit of independence, hard work, and freedom continues to inspire people around the world.
