Welcome to Cody, Wyoming, the Rodeo Capital of the World! This year marks the 89th Anniversary of the Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede in this great city, Cody! The Cody Stampede Rodeo is a truly Western event that has its roots in ranch contests and games as well as spectacle and drama borrowed from the world famous Wild West shows produced by Col.
