Whiskey Rodeo Classic

he Whiskey Rodeo Classic is a three-day celebration of Western heritage, rodeo action, and live music set in the heart of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Produced by Event X Productions, LLC, this high-energy event brings together elite rodeo athletes, rising champions, and passionate fans for an unforgettable showcase of grit, excitement, and authentic cowboy spirit. From heart-pounding bull riding and bronc battles to fast-paced barrel racing and timed events, the Whiskey Rodeo Classic delivers the kind of edge-of-your-seat action that defines true rodeo tradition.

But the excitement doesn’t stop when the arena dust settles—because the Whiskey Rodeo Classic is also home to two powerhouse nights of live country music. Friday night features Joe Cheyenne, bringing his signature Western sound, crowd-moving energy, and authentic storytelling to kick off the weekend’s entertainment. Then on Saturday night, the arena transforms into a full concert experience with a headline performance by Kenny Feidler and The Cowboy Killers. Known for their gritty outlaw country style, raw emotion, and explosive stage presence, Kenny and the band deliver a show that resonates deeply with rodeo fans, ranchers, and lovers of modern Western music.

Beyond the arena and stage, the Whiskey Rodeo Classic offers a full Western festival atmosphere, complete with vendors, food, local artisans, family-friendly activities, and the welcoming community spirit Thermopolis is known for. Designed to unite cowboys, families, fans, and first-time visitors, the event blends tradition with celebration, creating an experience that extends far beyond the weekend itself.

Backed by Event X Productions’ commitment to quality, production excellence, and sponsor value, the Whiskey Rodeo Classic is quickly becoming one of Wyoming’s premier annual events—expanding its reach, building its audience, and showcasing the rugged beauty and enduring legacy of the Western way of life. With top-tier rodeo action by day and electrifying concerts by night, the Whiskey Rodeo Classic delivers a truly unmatched Western entertainment experience.
