The National Western Stock Show is Denver’s iconic agricultural, rodeo, and livestock celebration, often promoted as the "best 16 days in January." The 2026 edition marks the 120th anniversary of the show and features livestock exhibitions, horse shows, rodeos, auctions, family activities, shopping, and more across the National Western Complex grounds in Denver. More than 750,000 guests attended in 2026, making it the most attended show in the event’s history. The website highlights multiple areas: a 2026 Schedule of Events (daily and featured events across the 16 days), information for Livestock Exhibitors (competition schedules, entry details, and show rules), Horse Show Exhibitors (disciplines, classes, and show information), and Grounds Admission (general admission access to grounds activities, exhibitions, and attractions). Tickets are sold via Ticketmaster under "National Western Stock Show presented by CommonSpirit Health". The stock show includes rodeo performances, junior livestock competitions, auctions such as the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions, and numerous sponsor activations from brands like Chevrolet, Ford, Coors, Mountain Dew, and Cinch. It is an all-ages, family-friendly event with wide-ranging programming appealing to agriculture enthusiasts, families, and the broader community.
