CODY — The Cody Country Chamber of Commerce invites locals and visitors to experience the Wild West Arts Fest, a summer tradition held July 2-4 in the heart of downtown Cody on 10th Street and Beck Avenue near City Park. 

This free, family friendly outdoor event will run from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on July 2 and 3, and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on July 4, offering three full days of community celebration and Western creativity. 

With over 50 artisan vendors hailing from across the Mountain West and beyond, Wild West Arts Fest showcases authentic, handcrafted artwork ranging from canvas paintings, custom wood and metalwork, to sewing, jewelry and more. Every product reflects the maker’s originality and craftsmanship — no commercial or mass-produced goods are allowed. Booth spaces are sold out this year, including many new-to-Cody vendors. 

A selection of 13 food and drink vendors will also be on site, offering everything from  sandwiches and tacos to gourmet ice cream, acai bowls and classic festival fare. 

“Wild West Arts Fest is a dynamic celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community,” said Jennifer Thoma, executive director of the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce. “It’s the perfect opportunity to experience the incredible talent of our region and soak in the festive Fourth of July energy right in the heart of downtown Cody.” Wild West Arts Fest coincides with Cody’s legendary Independence Day festivities, including the Cody Stampede Parade, the Cody Stampede Rodeo, Cody Fireworks and other patriotic events that attract thousands of visitors each year.
