National Day of the Cowboy
Today, July 26th, 2025, is the 20th annual National Day of the Cowboy, always observed on the fourth Saturday of July. On March 18, 2016, Idaho became the 11th state to pass a law recognizing the holiday.
The National Day of the Cowboy Organization created this day in 2005 to acknowledge the contributions of the cowboy (and cowgirl) to the history of America.
Celebrate today by watching a classic Western movie, taking in a rodeo, putting on a pair of boots and kicking up your heels, or learning how to throw a lasso.
Have a happy National Day of the Cowboy!

When I was a kid, I tried to learn how to use a lasso. I failed miserably.
