This summer, Fridays on the Plaza returns to Downtown Cheyenne for another season of unforgettable Friday nights filled with live music, packed crowds, and the songs that somehow hit even harder when thousands of people are singing them back together.

From rock anthems and nostalgic throwbacks to party hits, country favorites, reggae grooves, and singalong classics, the 2026 season is built around one idea:

Because hearing the song is one thing…

But have you heard it live?

Now entering its 21st season, Fridays on the Plaza has grown into Wyoming’s largest free outdoor summer music festival and one of the region’s most anticipated summer traditions. Hosted at the historic Depot Plaza in the heart of Downtown Cheyenne, the series brings nationally touring artists, local support acts, food vendors, and thousands of music fans together every Friday night throughout the summer.

ABOUT FRIDAYS ON THE PLAZA

Fridays on the Plaza is Wyoming’s largest free outdoor music festival, bringing live music, community, and unforgettable summer nights to the heart of Downtown Cheyenne for more than 20 years. Held at the historic Depot Plaza each Friday throughout the summer, the series features nationally touring artists, local favorites, food vendors, drinks, and family-friendly fun.

What began as a community concert series has grown into a beloved Cheyenne tradition, welcoming thousands of attendees each season. More than just live music, Fridays on the Plaza brings people together, supports Downtown businesses, and creates a space for the community to connect.

DEPOT PLAZA CODE OF CONDUCT

Fridays on the Plaza is a free, family-friendly concert series designed for our entire community to enjoy. We carefully select our artists based on their talent, merit, and ability to bring people together. While we inform all artists that this is an all-ages event, Fridays on the Plaza does not censor artistic content and is not responsible for what may be said on stage.

 

We recognize that “family-friendly” means different things to different people, so if you’d like to learn more about a specific artist before attending, we encourage you to check out their music on the event’s Spotify playlist or reach out to us for more information.

What to Know Before You Go

  • Arrive early. Beat the crowd, find parking and get through those beer and food truck lines before they get too crazy.
  • Your best option for parking is the Jack Spiker Parking Garage on W. 17th Street.
  • ID checks and beer tickets will be sold in front of the Depot Museum building NOT at the beer dispensing area as they have been historically. 
  • NO weapons of any kind.
  • NO PETS. Please leave your pets at home. It is LOUD and HOT on the Plaza with large crowds next to a busy highway. They can easily be stepped on, become rapidly dehydrated, or run out in front of traffic. These are unsafe conditions for your pets. 
  • Please take all vaping devices and cigarettes to the sidewalks surrounding the Plaza.
  • Artist & Fridays merch will be sold under the white beer tent behind the sound booth. We will be selling a limited number of festival t-shirts and merchandise for a select few dates only. 
  • Bring water and sunscreen. Lines can be long and there is very limited shade on the Plaza. We have a water fountain to refill your water bottles but please plan accordingly.
  • Be courteous of others.
  • Stay home if you're not feeling well
