September 24, 2022
6 – 11:30 p.m.
This western formal features live music by Music City Groove and exquisite cuisine by Bravo Catering. The 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 and kick up their heels!
Join us for this lively celebration! Tickets are $375 per person. Table sponsorship available. Reservations required.
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.
Check out all of the great events and register by going to the Rendezvous Royale website.
