Cowboy Capital of the World celebrates National Day of the American Cowboy
The National Day of the American Cowboy will begin Saturday, July 27, at 9 a.m., with a free Cowboy Breakfast on the Bandera courthouse lawn.
The Bandera Cattle Company Gunfighters will put on three shows (live reenactments and skits), at 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., all on the courthouse lawn.
Other events include a Picker's Circle with cowboy songs and stories, live music from local bands, Native American exhibits, Western craftsmen and a bucking bull.
There will be plenty of activities for kids of all ages, including the Little Wranglers Stick Horse Races. Events will conclude at 3 p.m. After a full day of activities, head over to the "Ridin' the River" Ranch Rodeo at Mansfield Park. Gates open at 6 p.m., Rodeo starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.
“Given that Bandera is the official Cowboy Capital of the World, we hope our visitors will enjoy the variety of authentic old-West activities and performances,” Bandera Business Association President Cindy Beckham said. “There is so much to see and do in Bandera, we encourage visitors to make a weekend of it. From the Frontier Times Museum just one block away (from the courthouse), to the Ranch Rodeo at Mansfield Park on Saturday evening, bring your boots and explore the Western lifestyle. Horseback riding is available nearby, so call ahead to Bandera Historical Rides to reserve your place or contact one of our guest ranches. Shopping and dining are available all along Main Street and the center of Bandera, even on nearby side streets, so explore. If you need to relax and cool off in the afternoon, visit our City Park to enjoy the shade of the cypress trees along the beautiful Medina River. Something for everyone this weekend.”
