Summertime in Jackson Hole is a great time to explore the beautiful scenery of the Grand Tetons or Yellowstone National Park. There really is so much nature to explore! However, the downtown area is also buzzing with so many fun events to take part in during your vacation. Here are some of our favorite summer events in Jackson Hole!
Grand Teton Music Festival
Going on 60 years of celebrating classical music, the Grand Teton Music Festival is a great way to immerse yourself in enriched culture of Wyoming. From July 3 to August 27, unique orchestral groups perform in Walk Festival Hall. If you’ll be in Jackson Hole for Independence Day weekend, make sure to attend their Patriotic Pops concert at the Center for the Arts Park.
Jackson Hole Rodeo
Looking for an authentic western experience? Check out the Jackson Hole Rodeo! This cowboy tradition has been in Jackson Hole for 100 years and families can participate in viewing the exciting barrel racing, calf roping, and even bull riding. The rodeo is every Wednesday and Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day and each rodeo starts at 8pm! Tickets are general admission, but there’s no bad seat in the house to observe the fun cowboy traditions.
66th Annual Teton County Fair
The Teton County Fair takes place from July 23 to July 31 and is a melting pot of fun Jackson Hole activities. From the rodeo to the carnival, there’s so much to do during the week! You can compete in some fun competitions such as the fair’s famous pie-eating contest or your little ones can take place in the diaper derby. Midway through the fair, a live concert will take place in the rodeo arena with two nationally known country artists. There’s something for everyone at the Teton County Fair!
