Cattle Drive
July 24 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
During the 1800s, large herds of Longhorn cattle were driven through Colorado. The route, known as the “Goodnight-Loving Trail,” started in west Texas and passed through our area on the way to the stockyards in Denver and on to Wyoming. This event helps honor that heritage.
Watch as cowhands from Silverado Ranch drive a herd of Texas Longhorn through Downtown. Starting at Rock Park, the herd will continue along Perry Street before completing the journey in front of the Castle Rock Police Department. Please keep safety in mind, and stay behind the protective barriers along Perry Street.
The Rocky Mountain Indigenous Dancers, made up of members of tribes from across the plains, return this year to lead the cattle drive with a captivating processional performance.
After the cattle drive, the fun continues at Festival Park. See additional performances by the Rocky Mountain Indigenous Dancers, take an old-time photo with the family, grab delicious food truck fare and enjoy entertainment for all ages!
