This Weekend in Cheyenne

America’s 250th Takes Over Downtown

Cheyenne is going big for the Fourth this year with America’s 250th celebration bringing a full day of music, food, ceremonies, family activities and fireworks to the Capitol area.

What’s happening:

• America’s 250th Parade at 9:00 a.m.
• All-day festivities around the Capitol grounds
• Live music including Missy Jo, Jalan Crossland and the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra
• Speaker series, food trucks and family activities
• Historic Governors’ Mansion events, State Archives tours and the High Iron Rail Car
• Fireworks over the Capitol at 9:40 p.m. (**There is no fireworks display at Frontier Park this year, only at the Capitol.)

A quick look at where the main celebration areas, performances and festivities will be set up around the Capitol Complex.

If you’re only doing one big thing this weekend, this is probably the one. Bring a chair, give yourself a little extra time downtown and enjoy America's 250th celebration!
