Jackson Hole’s Old West Days is held annually over Memorial Day weekend and celebrates the town’s identity as “The Last of the Old West.” With the area’s exceptionally rich history, it’s no wonder Old West Days is a favorite among tourists and locals alike. 

The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Old West Days will run from May 19 - 29, 2023.

Million Dollar Music Fest

The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar will host an free outdoor concert on the town square on Sunday, May 28th. On the 28th, Multi-Platinum award winning artist Jon Pardi, will headline The Million Dollar Music Fest presented by The Cowboy Bar, in what will be the biggest production in the festival’s four-year history. The hit-making singer/songwriter, who has “refined and defined a country sound that is long on punch, power and the kind of honkytonk that gets people drinking, dancing and drowning their heartaches,” will headline the Town Square show that, for the first time will feature four national acts.
 
Vocal powerhouse, Caitlyn Smith, singer-songwriter Drew Parker and Cowboy Bar favorite, Britnee Kellogg will join the fourth annual Million Dollar Music Fest in support.
 
Gates will officially open at 4:00 p.m. for this rain-or-shine concert event. While the show is free to the public, a limited number of VIP tickets will be available for purchase and will include prime viewing with a dedicated bar. VIP tickets go on sale on April 21st. See Music Fest Details here.
