Main Street PARADE

2025 THEME: coming soon!

10 am- Friday, July 11, 2025

Friday July 11, 2025
10 am, Sheridan, Wyoming
Parade Sponsored by Century 21 BHJ Realty, Inc.

Our grand Sheridan WYO Rodeo Parade is the most marvelous hometown parade in America!

The Sheridan WYO Rodeo parade will see a new route for the second year in a row in 2024. The parade route will again include Main Street, with a new twist or “turn” to include Brooks Street. The new route will begin on North Main Street and head south, then turn right on Works St., and then head north on Brooks St.

“The main reason for the change is the amount of space that Brooks Street provides for participants as well as the spectators. We had a lot of positive feedback last year utilizing Brooks Street,” said WYO Rodeo board member and parade coordinator, Brandy Campbell.

The Parade Theme for 2024 will be “Boots, Roots and Rodeo”. Parade entry forms must be submitted by June 28th.

Hundreds stake out their favorite viewing spot the night before, just remember to wait until the stores close before setting out your chairs.

Locals and visitors alike know that the fun begins even earlier than the 10 a.m. Main Street Parade! Arrive downtown to enjoy the Pancake Breakfast on Grinnell Plaza, run — or watch the Sneakers and Spurs Fun Run and then finish it all up with our grand WYO Rodeo Parade. 

*Bed Races are cancelled in 2024 due to Main Street construction.
