Fall Cowboy Gathering

The Fall Cowboy Gathering is more than a concert and poetry event. It is a celebration of the traditions, values, and stories that have shaped the American West for generations.

On September 26-27 in Prineville, Oregon's Cowboy Capital, award-winning musicians, poets, storytellers, and community members will come together for a weekend dedicated to preserving and celebrating Western culture through music, cowboy poetry, fellowship, and faith.

Hosted by the Rural Oregon Community Foundation, the Fall Cowboy Gathering directly supports our mission to Preserve the Western Way of Life through investments in youth agriculture programs, scholarships, arts and culture, animal welfare, and community initiatives across Central Oregon.

By becoming a sponsor, you are not only helping bring an exceptional cultural event to our community, you're helping ensure that future generations continue to experience the traditions, values, and opportunities that define rural Oregon.
