The National Western Stock Show is Denver’s historic multi‑day livestock, rodeo, and western heritage celebration, billed as the "best 16 days in January." The 2026 edition marked the 120th anniversary of the show, with more than 750,000 guests in attendance, making it the most attended show in the event’s history. The Stock Show features livestock competitions, horse shows, rodeo performances, auctions such as the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions, trade shows, family activities, and a wide variety of grounds events throughout the National Western Complex. The 2026 show was presented by CommonSpirit Health and included major partners such as Ticketmaster, Mountain Dew, Ford, Chevrolet, Cinch, and Coors. The website notes that the full 2026 Schedule of Events is live, with sections for Livestock Exhibitors, Horse Show Exhibitors, and Grounds Admission information. The tagline "Tickets. Grit. Glory." and "Gather. share. community." emphasize both the competitive and community aspects of the event. While the 2026 edition has concluded, the site also notes that the next Stock Show will run January 9–24, 2027, continuing the tradition of world‑class western events in Denver.
