This elegant, black-tie gala, Patrons Ball, is one of the signature social events of the year in Wyoming, and a major fundraiser for the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
Patrons from near and far gather to renew friendships, network with leaders of industry and government, and make new acquaintances. Immersed in western art, culture, and the history of the West, this event allows Patrons to enjoy companionable conversation, an exquisite dining experience—in the Center’s museums—from Bravo Catering. After dinner, dance the night away to live music from Modern Retrospect! This fundraiser is $375 per ticket.
Although this year’s Patrons Ball is sold out, make sure to save the date for next year: September 20, 2025!
All proceeds benefit the programs and public activities of the Center of the West. Patrons Ball is the culmination of Rendezvous Royale, a weeklong celebration of the arts in Cody, which also includes the Buffalo Bill Art Show and By Western Hands. For general information, visit the Rendezvous Royale website.
