The National Day of the Cowboy is an annual observance celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in July. The day is dedicated to honoring and preserving the cowboy and cowgirl heritage, culture, and traditions that played a significant role in shaping the American West.
The origins of the National Day of the Cowboy can be traced back to the efforts of the National Day of the Cowboy organization, which was founded in 2005 by rodeo cowboy and actor R.W. Hampton and recognized by the U.S. Congress. The organization's mission is to promote and preserve cowboy and cowgirl culture, as well as the values and spirit of the American West.
On this day, various events and activities are organized across the country to celebrate the cowboy way of life.
