Superday is an annual, free community-wide celebration held in Cheyenne, Wyoming, that serves as the unofficial kickoff to summer and marks the beginning of July as National Parks and Recreation Month.

Hosted by the City of Cheyenne Community Recreation & Events Department, this event is designed to promote local recreation, healthy lifestyles, and community engagement.

Here are a few of the highlights we saw this year, 2026

There is always live music. This group was a Navy Band called Northwest Passage.

Also performing on that day was Cheyenne Civic Concert Band and DJ Steve Narvais.

Let's have a look at the rides.

Who was it that thought to attach two bungee cords to a person's hips and put a trampoline under them?

Chugwater's Hysterical Pie Eating Contest.

One of Wyoming's smallest towns added a new event. A PIE EATING CONTEST.

The rules are simple:

Not hands allowed.

Eat as much as you can before time is up.

The results are hysterical.
