The Lewis and Clark County Fairgrounds have hosted the Last Chance Stampede and Fair for more than 150 years, and local outlets noted the event’s long-running combination of rodeo competition and two nights of musical entertainment at the arena. Gates, show times, and ticket tiers listed above match the details provided by the fair and local media partners.
One earlier press listing supplied to reporters incorrectly listed Travis Tritt on July 2; organizers and multiple local outlets confirm the correct date as July 22, 2026.
