Student Day
The real Dodge City of the 1870s was a unique phenomenon in the history of the United States. This cow town sprang up virtually overnight and captured the essence of life in the expanding American Southwest. The Old West Festival will be modeled on the layout of the historic Dodge City with the streets and buildings named accordingly.
The next scheduled student day for The Old West Festival will be in the 2011 season. We still encourage schools and homeschools to partake in this fun learning experience. Group discounts are available for student groups when the tickets are purchased in advance for school groups. Education materials are available to download below. For details please email us at
