About

OUR MISSION

The Durango Cowboy Gathering strives to bring together people from all walks of life and all ages to celebrate and preserve the history, culture, and traditions of the American West.

ORGANIZATION

The Durango Cowboy Gathering is a 100% volunteer organization without paid staff or a permanent office. Members of the Board of Directors give generously of their time, hard work, and personal resources so that everyone may celebrate, make friends, learn, and enjoy our cowboy heritage.

The Durango Cowboy Gathering is a Colorado nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, supported by generous sponsors and supporters. This project is made possible by the City of Durango’s Lodgers’ Tax Arts & Culture Fund and the Durango Creative District.
