Old West Days celebrates the heritage, history, community, and culture of Jackson Hole during the last two weeks of May!
The festival kicks off late May with ElkFest, Teton Powwow, and the High Noon Chili Cook-off in downtown Jackson Hole. Jackson Hole Restaurant Week, Mountain Man Rendezvous, and the Old West Days Ranch Tour fill in the weekdays. And The Best of the West Parade, Old West Brewfest, and Million Dollar Music Fest round out the festival on Memorial Day weekend.
Old West Days is a celebration of the history, heritage, community, and culture of Jackson Hole. The last two weeks of May are a cherished time in Jackson for locals and visitors to experience everything that makes our community special before the busy tourist season kicks in. This is one of the best times of the year to observe wildlife in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, as the animals are beginning to take over the landscape after the winter snows have melted. Come out and enjoy the food, music, history, and culture of Jackson Hole during Old West Days!
Experience a unique Jackson Hole festival brimming with free events as varied as the High Noon Chili Cookoff (vote for your favorite!), the Mountain Man Rendezvous (envision strolling through Trader's Row where heirloom-quality handmade goods), and the main event: the one-of-a-kind Elk Antler Auction.
Catch a free country music concert featuring national touring acts near the iconic elk antler arches of Town Square. Past lineups have included award winning artists such as Travis Tritt and Jon Pardi. Not enough? Come for the Old West Brewfest, Cowboy Church, the rodeo and tons of family fun.
