First Cheyenne Frontier Days 2024 Free Pancake Breakfast Monday

The first of three Cheyenne Frontier Days 2024 Pancake Breakfasts is scheduled for Monday from 7-9 am in the Cheyenne Depot Plaza.

Pancake breakfasts have been a CFD tradition since the early 1950s.

It's More Than Just  A Free Breakfast

Besides offering a free meal to Cheyenne Frontier Days visitors and Cheyenne residents, the breakfasts serve as a Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne drill in feeding large numbers of people in case of a natural disaster or other large-scale emergency situations.

Wednesday will be Cheyenne Day at Cheyenne Frontier Days, and that day typically draws the biggest crowds for the breakfasts, with the number of breakfasts served ranging over 15,000 some years.

The single-day record was registered during the Wednesday 1996 feeding frenzy, where 16,897 people were served.  The weekly record was broken that same year when 39,111 people were fed in a combined serving time of eight hours and ten minutes.
