We look forward to welcoming all friends of the Center for an unforgettable evening!

This elegant, black-tie gala is one of the signature social events of the year in Wyoming and 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. After dinner, dance the night away to live music from the High Society Band!

This unique evening is $450 per ticket. Ticket sales open to $1,000 level Patrons and higher on July 1 and to the public on July 15. 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.
