Community Days
Themed around Briscoe’s pillars of Western Art, cowboys and ranching, Native Americans, vaqueros, and the wildlife of the West, the Briscoe Community Festival Days are created for families.Â
National Day of the Cowboy
Celebrated on the fourth Saturday of July each year. Attracting Western fans of all ages for a day filled with fun, music and art throughout the museum’s home on the River Walk, the day is filled with boots, hats and all things cowboy, cowgirl and vaquero. The celebration typically includes western lessons like the art of the lasso, cowboy poetry, chuckwagon treats and cowboy crooning filling the air of the museum’s McNutt Sculpture Garden.
