Chris LeDoux Days Is Ending: After 15 Years Festival Will Hold Finale In June 2025
Kaycee, Wyoming – For 15 unforgettable years, the small town of Kaycee, Wyoming, has welcomed country music lovers from all across the nation to celebrate the life and legacy of one of rodeo’s most beloved voices—Chris LeDoux. Now, with heartfelt emotion, fans are preparing to say goodbye as the Chris LeDoux Days Festival hosts its final event in June 2025.
The announcement has struck a chord with longtime admirers who have made the annual pilgrimage a family tradition. The festival, which began in 2010, not only honored Chris’s music but his cowboy spirit and unwavering dedication to family, community, and the Western way of life.
“It’s bittersweet,” shared Peggy LeDoux, Chris’s wife. “This event was never just about music—it was about keeping Chris’s memory alive the way he lived: with grit, grace, and a whole lot of heart.”
From rodeo events and outdoor concerts to intimate family tributes and tearful singalongs, Chris LeDoux Days became a unique celebration of a life well-lived. The festival also became a platform for his son, Ned LeDoux, who carried the torch by performing his father’s classics alongside his own heartfelt compositions.
Ned reflected:
“Dad would’ve been humbled. This festival brought people together from all walks of life—just like his music did.”
As the final festival approaches, fans are encouraged to join the LeDoux family one last time to honor Chris’s enduring impact. Special performances, guest speakers, and unreleased memorabilia will mark the end of an era that has left an indelible mark on the country music landscape.
Chris LeDoux may have left this world in 2005, but his voice, his values, and his legacy continue to echo – especially in the hearts of those gathering for one final tribute in Kaycee.
