Arizona Cowboy Poets Gathering Tickets

The Arizona Cowboy Poets Gathering is a storied Prescott tradition dedicated to preserving cowboy poetry and Western music. Since its inception, the event has grown into a community where more than 40 poets and singers share the stage, combining a rich oral tradition with contemporary Western performance. The 37th annual gathering takes place in 2025 from August 7–9 at the Jim & Linda Lee Performing Arts Center on the campus of Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona.

Daytime sessions are typically free, offering a chance to hear intimate readings and songs from a wide array of performers. Evening performances, held at the performing arts center, showcase larger audiences and feature a curated lineup of poets and western music artists. This is a family-friendly, authentic experience rooted in volunteer-driven roots that date back to the Sharlot Hall Museum era and were further advanced by founder Warren Miller and the community around Prescott’s cowboy heritage.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to cowboy poetry, the gathering is your opportunity to experience storytelling, humor, and western tunes in a welcoming, community-first environment. Secure your seats early through azcowboypoets.org or Yavapai College’s ticketing partner at ycpac.com.
